Hyperbolically embedded subgroups and rotating families in groups acting on hyperbolic spaces (1111.7048v5)

Published 30 Nov 2011 in math.GR and math.GT

Abstract: We introduce and study the notions of hyperbolically embedded and very rotating families of subgroups. The former notion can be thought of as a generalization of the peripheral structure of a relatively hyperbolic group, while the later one provides a natural framework for developing a geometric version of small cancellation theory. Examples of such families naturally occur in groups acting on hyperbolic spaces including hyperbolic and relatively hyperbolic groups, mapping class groups, $Out(F_n)$, and the Cremona group. Other examples can be found among groups acting geometrically on $CAT(0)$ spaces, fundamental groups of graphs of groups, etc. We obtain a number of general results about rotating families and hyperbolically embedded subgroups; although our technique applies to a wide class of groups, it is capable of producing new results even for well-studied particular classes. For instance, we solve two open problems about mapping class groups, and obtain some results which are new even for relatively hyperbolic groups.
