Conditions for hyperbolic and relatively hyperbolic extensions of free groups using automorphisms with fixed points.

We show that there does not exist a Kobayashi hyperbolic complex manifold of dimension $n\ne 3$, whose group of holomorphic automorphisms has dimension $n^2+1$ and that, if a 3-dimensional connected hyperbolic complex manifold has automorphism group of dimension 10, then it is holomorphically equivalent to the Siegel s…

In this paper we determine all Kobayashi-hyperbolic 2-dimensional complex manifolds for which the group of holomorphic automorphisms has dimension 3. This work concludes a recent series of papers by the author on the classification of hyperbolic $n$-dimensional manifolds, with automorphism group of dimension at least $…

We determine all connected homogeneous Kobayashi-hyperbolic manifolds of dimension $n\ge 2$ whose holomorphic automorphism group has dimension $n^2-3$. This result complements existing classifications for automorphism group dimension $n^2-2$ (which is in some sense critical) and greater.

We show that every virtually torsion-free subgroup of the outer automorphism group of a conjugacy separable relatively hyperbolic group is residually finite. As a direct consequence, we obtain that the outer automorphism group of a limit group is residually finite.

We show that every virtually torsion-free subgroup of the outer automorphism group of a conjugacy separable hyperbolic group is residually finite. As a result, we are able to prove that the group of outer automorphisms of every finitely generated Fuchsian group and of every free-by-finite group is resudually finite. We…

We determine all connected homogeneous Kobayashi-hyperbolic manifolds of dimension $n\ge 2$ whose holomorphic automorphism group has dimension $n^2-2$. This result complements an existing classification for automorphism group dimension $n^2-1$ and greater obtained without the homogeneity assumption.

An automorphism $α$ of a group $G$ is normal if it fixes every normal subgroup of $G$ setwise. We give an algebraic description of normal automorphisms of relatively hyperbolic groups. In particular, we prove that for any relatively hyperbolic group $G$, $Inn(G)$ has finite index in the subgroup $Aut_n(G)$ of normal au…

The paper proves geometrical finiteness for automorphism groups of K3 surfaces and related varieties.

We determine all connected homogeneous Kobayashi-hyperbolic manifolds of dimension $n\ge 4$ whose group of holomorphic automorphisms has dimension either $n^2-4$, or $n^2-5$, or $n^2-6$. This paper continues a series of articles that achieve classifications for automorphism group dimension $n^2-3$ and greater.

We obtain a complete classification of complex Kobayashi-hyperbolic manifolds of dimension $n\ge 2$, for which the dimension of the group of holomorphic automorphisms is equal to $n^2$.

The thesis shows how automorphisms of hyperbolic groups can be represented by train track maps.

We prove that the group STame($k^3$) of special tame automorphisms of the affine 3-space is not simple, over any base field of characteristic zero. Our proof is based on the study of the geometry of a 2-dimensional simply-connected simplicial complex C on which the tame automorphism group acts naturally. We prove that …

We show that the number of twisted conjugacy classes is infinite for any automorphism of non-elementary, Gromov hyperbolic group . An analog of Selberg theory for twisted conjugacy classes is proposed.

The paper constructs contact-hyperbolic manifolds with large automorphism groups.

Extends growth properties of hyperbolic groups to their extensions.

Study shows automorphism groups of certain hyperbolic manifolds are infinitely generated.

We are concerned with orderable groups and particularly those with orderings invariant not only under multiplication, but also under a given automorphism or family of automorphisms. Several applications to topology are given: we prove that the fundamental groups of hyperbolic nonorientable surfaces, and the groups of c…

Proves conjecture for hyperbolic-by-cyclic groups using geometric methods.

For fixed subgroups $Fix(φ)$ of automorphisms $φ$ on hyperbolic 3-manifold groups $π_{1}(M)$, we observed that $\text{rk}(Fix(φ))<2\text{rk}(π_{1}(M))$ and the constant 2 in the inequality is sharp; we also classify all possible groups $Fix(φ)$.

We prove that the automorphism group of every infinitely-ended finitely generated group is acylindrically hyperbolic. In particular $\mathrm{Aut}(\mathbb{F}_n)$ is acylindrically hyperbolic for every $n\ge 2$. More generally, if $G$ is a group which is not virtually cyclic, and hyperbolic relative to a finite collectio…

We consider complex Kobayashi-hyperbolic manifolds of dimension $n\ge 2$ for which the dimension of the group of holomorphic automorphisms is equal to $n^2-1$. We give a complete classification of such manifolds for $n\ge 3$ and discuss several examples for $n=2$.

We show that Out(G) is residually finite if G is a one-ended group that is hyperbolic relative to virtually polycyclic subgroups. More generally, if G is one-ended and hyperbolic relative to proper residually finite subgroups, the group of outer automorphisms preserving the peripheral structure is residually finite. We…

The study proves Gromov hyperbolicity for certain complex domains.

Let $\varphi$ be a hyperbolic outer automorphism of a non-abelian free group $F_N$ such that $\varphi$ and $\varphi^{-1}$ admit absolute train track representatives. We prove that $\varphi$ acts on the space of projectivized geodesic currents on $F_N$ with generalized uniform North-South dynamics.

We study automorphisms of a relatively hyperbolic group G. When G is one-ended, we describe Out(G) using a preferred JSJ tree over subgroups that are virtually cyclic or parabolic. In particular, when G is toral relatively hyperbolic, Out(G) is virtually built out of mapping class groups and subgroups of GL_n(Z) fixing…

Study shows infinite manifold types for every group.

Automorphisms and subdivisions of Helly graphs are studied, leading to explicit models and rational translation lengths.

We study the behavior of hyperbolic affine automorphisms of a translation surface which is infinite in area and genus that is obtained as a limit of surfaces built from regular polygons studied by Veech. We find that hyperbolic affine automorphisms are not recurrent and yet their action restricted to cylinders satisfie…

The automorphisms of a two-generator free group acting on the space of orientation-preserving isometric actions of on hyperbolic 3-space defines a dynamical system. Those actions which preserve a hyperbolic plane but not an orientation on that plane is an invariant subsystem, which reduces to an action on R^3 by polyno…

In the paper `Automorphic functions for a Whitehead-complement group', [Osaka J Math 43 (2006) 63-77] Matsumoto, Nishi and Yoshida constructed automorphic functions on real 3-dimensional hyperbolic space for a Kleinian group called the Whitehead-link-complement group. For a Kleinian group (of the first kind), no automo…

We give a combinatorial criterion that implies both the non-strong relative hyperbolicity and the one-endedness of a finitely generated group. We use this to show that many important classes of groups do not admit a strong relatively hyperbolic group structure and have one end. Applications include surface mapping clas…

Homology growth of specific mapping tori vanishes for certain groups.

We study isometric actions of tree automorphism groups on the infinite-dimensional hyperbolic spaces. On the one hand, we exhibit a general one-parameter family of such representations and analyse the corresponding equivariant embeddings of the trees, showing that they are convex-cocompact and asymptotically isometric.…

The paper studies acylindrical actions on trees and proves acylindrical hyperbolicity of Baumslag-Solitar groups.

Using the canonical JSJ splitting, we describe the outer automorphism group $\Out(G)$ of a one-ended word hyperbolic group $G$. In particular, we discuss to what extent $\Out(G)$ is virtually a direct product of mapping class groups and a free abelian group, and we determine for which groups $\Out(G)$ is infinite. We a…

The paper defines conditions for a free-by-free group to be hyperbolic.

Real del Pezzo surfaces split real lines into elliptic and hyperbolic types.

We survey our recent papers (some being joint ones) about the relation between the geometry of a compact Kähler manifold and the existence of automorphisms of positive entropy on it. We also use the language of log minimal model program (LMMP) in biraitonal geometry, but not its more sophisticated technical part. We gi…
