Growth of relatively hyperbolic groups

We show that a finitely generated group that is hyperbolic relative to a collection of proper subgroups either is virtually cyclic or has uniform exponential growth.

Quasi-isometry rigidity of groups

This paper overviews recent developments in the classification up to quasi-isometry of finitely generated groups, and more specifically of relatively hyperbolic groups.

Residual finiteness, QCERF, and fillings of hyperbolic groups

We prove that if every hyperbolic group is residually finite, then every quasi-convex subgroup of every hyperbolic group is separable. The main tool is relatively hyperbolic Dehn filling.

Geometric group theory and hyperbolic geometry: Recent contributions from Indian mathematicians

Geometric group theory emerged as a distinct branch of mathematics through the seminal work of Gromov [25] in 1987 and since then it has been a very active area of research intermingling with many…

A note on hyperbolically embedded subgroups

Abstract Let G be a group and H a subgroup of G. The notion of H being hyperbolically embedded in G was introduced by Dahmani, Guiraldel, and Osin. This note introduces an equivalent definition of…

COMPLEX OF RELATIVELY HYPERBOLIC GROUPS

Abstract In this paper, we prove a combination theorem for a complex of relatively hyperbolic groups. It is a generalization of Martin’s (Geom. Topology 18 (2014), 31–102) work for combination of…

Height in splittings of relatively hyperbolic groups

Given a finite graph of relatively hyperbolic groups with its fundamental group relatively hyperbolic and edge groups embed quasi-isometrically in vertex groups. We prove that a vertex group is…

An obstruction to the strong relative hyperbolicity of a group

Abstract We give a simple combinatorial criterion for a group that, when satisfied, implies that the group cannot be strongly relatively hyperbolic. The criterion applies to several classes of…

Subgroups of Word Hyperbolic Groups in Dimension 2

If G is a word hyperbolic group of cohomological dimension 2, then every subgroup of G of type FP2 is also word hyperbolic. Isoperimetric inequalities are denned for groups of type FP2 and it is…
