Acylindrically hyperbolic groups with exotic properties (1804.08767v2)

Abstract: We prove that every countable family of countable acylindrically hyperbolic groups has a common finitely generated acylindrically hyperbolic quotient. As an application, we obtain an acylindrically hyperbolic group $Q$ with strong fixed point properties: $Q$ has property $FL^p$ for all $p\in [1, +\infty)$, and every action of $Q$ on a finite dimensional contractible topological space has a fixed point. In addition, $Q$ has other properties which are rather unusual for groups exhibiting "hyperbolic-like" behaviour. E.g., $Q$ is not uniformly non-amenable and has finite generating sets with arbitrary large balls consisting of torsion elements.
