Chain flaring and $L^{2}$-torsion of free-by-cyclic groups
We introduce a condition on the monodromy of a free-by-cyclic group, Gφ, called the chain flare condition, that implies that the L–torsion, ρ(Gφ), is non-zero. We conjecture that this condition holds
One-relator hierarchies
We prove that one-relator groups with negative immersions are hyperbolic and virtually special; this resolves a recent conjecture of Louder and Wilton. The main new tool we develop is a refinement of
The Surface Group Conjectures for groups with two generators
• Mathematics
• 2022
The Surface Group Conjectures are statements about recognising surface groups among one-relator groups, using either the structure of their finite-index subgroups, or all subgroups. We resolve these
Algebraically hyperbolic groups
• Mathematics
• 2021
We initiate the study of torsion-free algebraically hyperbolic groups; these groups generalise, and are intricately related to, groups with no Baumslag–Solitar subgroups. Indeed, for groups of
Hyperbolic 5-manifolds that fiber over $S^1$
• Mathematics
• 2021
We exhibit some finite-volume cusped hyperbolic 5-manifolds that fiber over the circle. These include the smallest hyperbolic 5-manifold known, discovered by Ratcliffe and Tschantz. As a consequence,

Hyperbolic immersions of free groups
We prove that the mapping torus of a graph immersion has a word-hyperbolic fundamental group if and only if the corresponding endomorphism does not produce Baumslag-Solitar subgroups. Due to a result

In this paper we develop the metric theory for the outer space of a free product of groups. This generalizes the theory of the outer space of a free group, and includes its relative versions. The
Topology of finite graphs
This paper derives from a course in group theory which I gave at Berkeley in 1982. I wanted to prove the standard theorems on free groups, and discovered that, after a few preliminaries, the notion
On intersections of finitely generated subgroups of free groups
and asked if the factor 2 can be dropped. If one translates her approach (which is a slight modification of Howson's) to graph-theoretic terms, it easily shows that the answer is often "yes"in fact,
Irreducible nonsurjective endomorphisms of Fn are hyperbolic
Previously, Reynolds showed that any irreducible nonsurjective endomorphism can be represented by an irreducible immersion on a finite graph. We give a new proof of this and also show a partial
Submultiplicativity and the Hanna Neumann Conjecture
In this article, we dene submultiplicativity of ‘ 2 -numbers in the category of -complexes over a given -complex ^ X, which generalizes the statement of the Strengthened Hanna Neumann Conjecture
Mapping tori of free group automorphisms are coherent

The mapping torus of an endomorphism ' of a group G is the HNNextensionG⁄G with bonding maps the identity and '. We show that a mapping torus of an injective free group endomorphism has the property
Mapping tori of endomorphisms of free groups
For al large class of endomorphisms of finitely generated free groups we prove that their mapping tori groups are word-hyperbolic if and only if they don’t contain Baumslag-Solitar subgroups.
The quadratic isoperimetric inequality for mapping tori of free group automorphisms II: The general case
• Mathematics
• 2006
If F is a finitely generated free group and \phi is an automorphism of F then the mapping torus of \phi admits a quadratic isoperimetric inequality. This is the third and final paper in a series
