Let Γ be a torsion-free hyperbolic group. We study Γ-limit groups which, unlike the fundamental case in which Γ is free, may not be finitely presentable or geometrically tractable. We define model Γ-limit groups, which always have good geometric properties (in particular, they are always relatively hyperbolic). Given a strict resolution of an arbitrary Γ-limit group L, we canonically construct a strict resolution of a model Γ-limit group, which encodes all homomorphisms L → Γ that factor…

There is an algorithm which constructs a cover of a canonical solution diagram which encodes all homomorphisms from G to Γ as compositions of factorizations through Γ-NTQ groups and canonical automorphisms of the corresponding NTQ-subgroups.

We prove that cyclic subgroup separability is preserved under exponential completion for groups that belong to a class that includes all coherent RAAGs and toral relatively hyperbolic groups; we do

We discuss a number of problems in relatively hyperbolic groups. We show that the word problem and the conjugacy (search) problem are solvable in linear and quadratic time, respectively, for a

We prove that the generic type of a non-cyclic torsion-free hyperbolic group G is foreign to any interpretable abelian group, hence also to any interpretable field. This result depends, among other

We begin the investigation of -limit groups, where is a torsion-free group which is hyperbolic relative to a collection of free abelian subgroups. Using the results of (16), we adapt the re- sults

SummaryWe use canonical representatives in hyperbolic groups to reduce the theory of equations in (torsion-free) hyperbolic groups to the theory in free groups. As a result we get an effective

Abstract. We borrow the Jaco-Shalen-Johannson notion of characteristic sub-manifold from 3-dimensional topology to study cyclic splittings of torsion-free (Gromov) hyperbolic groups and finitely

It is proved that a finitely generated group having a free action on an R n –tree can be obtained from free abelian groups and surface groups by a finite sequence of free products and amalgamations over cyclic groups.
