Uniform undistortion from barycentres, and applications to hierarchically hyperbolic groups

open access: yesAnalysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces
We show that infinite cyclic subgroups of groups acting uniformly properly on injective metric spaces are uniformly undistorted. In the special case of hierarchically hyperbolic groups, we use this to study translation lengths for actions on the ...

Rigidity phenomena and the statistical properties of group actions on $\text {CAT}(0)$ cube complexes

open access: yesForum of Mathematics, Sigma
We compare the marked length spectra of some pairs of proper and cocompact cubical actions of a nonvirtually cyclic group on $\mathrm {CAT}(0)$ cube complexes.

Volume distortion in groups [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Given a space Y in X , a cycle in Y may be filled with a chain in two ways: either by restricting the chain to Y or by allowing it to be anywhere in X .

Splittings and C-complexes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The intersection pattern of the translates of the limit set of a quasiconvex subgroup of a hyperbolic group can be coded in a natural incidence graph, which suggests connections with the splittings of the ambient group.

Hyperbolic Metric Spaces and Stochastic Embeddings

open access: yesForum of Mathematics, Sigma
Stochastic embeddings of finite metric spaces into graph-theoretic trees have proven to be a vital tool for constructing approximation algorithms in theoretical computer science.

Topological geodesics and virtual rigidity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
We introduce the notion of a topological geodesic in a 3-manif- old. Under suitable hypotheses on the fundamental group, for instance word-hyperbolicity, topological geodesics are shown to have the useful prop- erties of, and play the same role in ...

The conjugacy problem for $\operatorname {Out}(F_3)$

open access: yesForum of Mathematics, Sigma
We present a solution to the conjugacy problem in the group of outer automorphisms of $F_3$ , a free group of rank 3. We distinguish according to several computable invariants, such as irreducibility, subgroups of polynomial growth and subgroups ...

Contractibility of boundaries of cocompact convex sets and embeddings of limit sets

open access: yesAnalysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces
We provide sufficient conditions as to when a boundary component of a cocompact convex set in a CAT(0){\rm{CAT}}\left(0)-space is contractible. We then use this to study when the limit set of a quasi-convex, codimension one subgroup of a negatively ...

A simple criterion for non-relative hyperbolicity and one-endedness of groups

open access: yes, 2008
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 ...
