The Cannon Conjecture from the geometric group theory asserts that a word hyperbolic group that acts effectively on its boundary, and whose boundary is homeomorphic to the 2-sphere, is isomorphic to a Kleinian group. We prove the following Criterion for Cannon’s Conjecture: a hyperbolic group G (that acts effectively on its boundary) whose boundary is homeomorphic to the 2-sphere is isomorphic to a Kleinian group if and only if every two points in the boundary of G are separated by a quasi…

Thurston’s Vision and the Virtual Fibering Theorem for 3-Manifolds
The vision and results of William Thurston (1946–2012) have shaped the theory of 3-dimensional manifolds for the last four decades. The high point was Perelman’s proof of Thurston’s Geometrization
Virtual properties of 3-manifolds dedicated to the memory of Bill Thurston
We will discuss the proof of Waldhausen’s conjecture that compact aspherical 3-manifolds are virtually Haken, as well as Thurston’s conjecture that hyperbolic 3manifolds are virtually fibered. The
Hyperbolic groups with planar boundaries
We prove that the class of convex-cocompact Kleinian groups is quasi-isometrically rigid. We also establish that a word hyperbolic group with a planar boundary different from the sphere is virtually

We show that a one-ended simply connected at infinity hyperbolic group $G$ with enough codimension-1 surface subgroups has $\partial G \cong \mathbb{S}^2$. Combined with a result of Markovic, our
Fuchsian groups, circularly ordered groups and dense invariant laminations on the circle
We propose a program to study groups acting faithfully on S 1 in terms of numbers of pairwise transverse dense invariant laminations. We give some examples of groups that admit a small number of

A well-known question of Gromov asks whether every one-ended hyperbolic group Γ \Gamma has a surface subgroup. We give a positive answer when Γ \Gamma is the fundamental group of
Homotopy and Homology at Infinity and at the Boundary
In this paper we study the relationship between the homology and homotopy of a space at infinity and at its boundary. Firstly, we prove that if a locally connected, connected, δ-hyperbolic space that

RESEARCH ANNOUNCEMENT: THE STRUCTURE OF GROUPS WITH A QUASICONVEX HIERARCHY
Let $G$ be a word-hyperbolic group with a quasiconvex hierarchy. We show that $G$ has a finite index subgroup $G'$ that embeds as a quasiconvex subgroup of a right-angled Artin group. It follows

Our main result establishes the bounded packing of relatively quasiconvex subgroups of a relatively hyperbolic group, under mild hypotheses. As an application, we prove that relatively quasiconvex
Convergence groups are Fuchsian groups
A group of homeomorphisms of the circle satisfying the "convergence property" is shown to be the restriction of a discrete group of Mobius transformations of the unit disk. This completes the proof

Surface subgroups from homology
Let G be a word-hyperbolic group, obtained as a graph of free groups amalgamated along cyclic subgroups. If H2(G; ℚ) is nonzero, then G contains a closed hyperbolic surface subgroup. Moreover, the
