In this note, we generalize a theorem of Juan Souto on rank and Nielsen equivalence in the fundamental group of a hyperbolic fibered 3-manifold to a large class of hyperbolic group extensions. This includes all hyperbolic extensions of surfaces groups as well as hyperbolic extensions of free groups by convex cocompact …

New lattice extensions of Schottky groups in hyperbolic space.

We introduce the co-surface graph $\mathcal{CS}$ of a finitely generated free group $\mathbb{F}$ and use it to study the geometry of hyperbolic group extensions of $\mathbb{F}$. Among other things, we show that the Gromov boundary of the co-surface graph is equivariantly homeomorphic to the space of free arational $\ma…

Linear progress observed in fibered 3-manifold embeddings.

In this note, we prove that a random extension of either the free group $F_N$ of rank $N\ge3$ or of the fundamental group of a closed, orientable surface $S_g$ of genus $g\ge2$ is a hyperbolic group. Here, a random extension is one corresponding to a subgroup of either Out$(F_N)$ or Mod$(S_g)$ generated by $k$ independ…

Extensions of Veech groups using hierarchical hyperbolic spaces.

Given a finitely generated subgroup $Γ\le \mathrm{Out}(\mathbb{F})$ of the outer automorphism group of the rank $r$ free group $\mathbb{F} = F_r$, there is a corresponding free group extension $1 \to \mathbb{F} \to E_Γ \to Γ\to 1$. We give sufficient conditions for when the extension $E_Γ$ is hyperbolic. In particular,…

This work tackles manifold regression onto hyperbolic space for tree classification and taxonomy extension.

The paper studies a group action on a hyperbolic space derived from a lattice Veech group.

The following discourse is inspired by the works on hyperbolic groups of Epstein, and Neumann/Reeves. Epstein showed that geometrically finite hyperbolic groups are biautomatic. Neumann/Reeves showed that virtually central extensions of word hyperbolic groups are biautomatic. We prove the following generalisation: Theo…

Harmonic extension of Weil-Petersson circle homeomorphisms

The notion of maximal extension of a globally hyperbolic space-time arises from the notion of maximal solutions of the Cauchy problem associated to the Einstein's equations of general relativity. In 1969 Choquet-Bruhat and Geroch proved that if the Cauchy problem has a local solution, this solution has a unique maximal…

We prove a combination theorem for trees of (strongly) relatively hyperbolic spaces and finite graphs of (strongly) relatively hyperbolic groups. This gives a geometric extension of Bestvina and Feighn's Combination Theorem for hyperbolic groups and answers a question of Swarup. We also prove a converse to the main Com…

This paper gives a detailed analysis of the Cannon--Thurston maps associated to a general class of hyperbolic free group extensions. Let $F_N$ denote a free groups of finite rank $N\ge 3$ and consider a \emph{convex cocompact} subgroup $Γ\le Out(F_N)$, i.e. one for which the orbit map from $Γ$ into the free factor comp…

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

The paper studies groups with proper actions on finite products of hyperbolic spaces.

The Bartnik mass is a quasi-local mass tailored to asymptotically flat Riemannian manifolds with non-negative scalar curvature. From the perspective of general relativity, these model time-symmetric domains obeying the dominant energy condition without a cosmological constant. There is a natural analogue of the Bartnik…

Let G be a group admitting a non-elementary acylindrical action on a Gromov hyperbolic space (for example, a non-elementary relatively hyperbolic group, or the mapping class group of a closed hyperbolic surface, or Out(F_n) for n>1). We prove that, in degree 3, the bounded cohomology of G with real coefficients is infi…

Minkowski space is the local model of 3 dimensionnal flat spacetimes. Recent progress in the description of globally hyperbolic flat spacetimes showed strong link between Lorentzian geometry and Teichm{ü}ller space. We notice that Lorentzian generalisations of conical singularities are useful for the endeavours of desc…

Survey connects hyperbolic groups to manifolds and Kleinian groups.

We prove that all atoroidal automorphisms of $Out(F_N)$ act on the space of projectivized geodesic currents with generalized north-south dynamics. As an application, we produce new examples of non virtually cyclic, free and purely atoroidal subgroups of $Out(F_N)$ such that the corresponding free group extension is hyp…

New Einstein metrics found from para-Sasaki-like Riemannian manifolds.

Extensions (entropies) play a central role in the theory of hyperbolic conservation laws by providing intrinsic selection criteria for weak solutions. For a given hyperbolic system u_t+f(u)_x=0, a standard approach is to analyze directly the second order PDE system for the extensions. Instead we find it advantageous to…

We prove that a quasiconformal map of the 2-sphere admits a harmonic quasi-isometric extension to the 3-dimensional hyperbolic space, thus confirming the well known Schoen Conjecture in dimension 3.

We construct nonlinear hyperbolic groups which are large, torsion-free, one-ended, and admit a finite $K(π,1)$. Our examples are built from superrigid cocompact rank one lattices via amalgamated free products and HNN extensions.

Surjectivity of Cannon-Thurston map proven for metric graph bundles.

Let S be a closed surface of genus at least 2. We show that a finitely generated group G which is an extension of the fundamental group H of S is word hyperbolic if and only the orbit map of the quotient group G/H on the complex of curves is a quasi-isometric embedding.This in turn is equivalent to G/H being convex coc…

For a hyperbolic link complement with a triangulation, there are hyperbolicity equations of the triangulation, which guarantee the hyperbolic structure of the link complement. In this paper, we explain that the number of the essential solutions of the equations is equal to or bigger than the extension degree of the inv…

We prove that every non-constant quasiregular selfmap of the $n$-sphere $\mathbb{S}^{n}$ admits a harmonic extension to the hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^{n+1}$ for $n\ge 2$.

Study of quaternion Azumaya algebras in hyperbolic once-punctured torus bundles.

We study Nielsen equivalence classes of generating pairs of Kleinian groups and HNN-extensions. We establish the following facts: - Hyperbolic 2-bridge knot groups have infinitely many Nielsen classes of generating pairs. - For any natural number N there is a closed hyperbolic 3-manifold whose fundamental group has N d…

New group not biautomatic, geometrically constructed.

Proves Farrell--Jones Conjecture for hyperbolic groups and their automorphisms.

We prove the existence of continuous boundary extensions (Cannon-Thurston maps) for the inclusion of a vertex space into a tree of (strongly) relatively hyperbolic spaces satisfying the qi-embedded condition. This implies the same result for inclusion of vertex (or edge) subgroups in finite graphs of (strongly) relativ…

We provide new examples of acylindrically hyperbolic groups arising from actions on simplicial trees. In particular, we consider amalgamated products and HNN-extensions, 1-relator groups, automorphism groups of polynomial algebras, 3-manifold groups and graph products. Acylindrical hyperbolicity is then used to obtain …

We construct a Kruskal-Szekeres-type analytic extension of the Emparan-Reall black ring, and investigate its geometry. We prove that the extension is maximal, globally hyperbolic, and unique within a natural class of extensions. The key to those results is the proof that causal geodesics are either complete, or approac…
