Ideal Bicombings for Hyperbolic Groups and Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
For every hyperbolic group and more general hyperbolic graphs, we construct an equivariant ideal bicombing: this is a homological analogue of the geodesic flow on negatively curved manifolds. We then construct a cohomological invariant which implies that several Measure Equivalence and Orbit Equivalence rigidity results established in [MSb] hold for all non-elementary hyperbolic groups and their non-elementary subgroups. We also derive superrigidity results for actions of general irreducible lattices on a large class of hyperbolic metric spaces.

For every hyperbolic group, we construct an ideal bicombing: this is a homological analogue of the geodesic flow on negatively curved manifolds. We then construct a cohomological invariant which implies that several Measure Equivalence and Orbit Equivalence rigidity results established in [26] hold for all non-elementary hyperbolic groups and their non-elementary subgroups.

متن کاملDehn Filling in Relatively Hyperbolic Groups
We introduce a number of new tools for the study of relatively hyperbolic groups. First, given a relatively hyperbolic group G, we construct a nice combinatorial Gromov hyperbolic model space acted on properly by G, which reflects the relative hyperbolicity of G in many natural ways. Second, we construct two useful bicombings on this space. The first of these, preferred paths, is combinatorial ...
متن کاملHessian Stochastic Ordering in the Family of multivariate Generalized Hyperbolic Distributions and its Applications
In this paper, random vectors following the multivariate generalized hyperbolic (GH) distribution are compared using the hessian stochastic order. This family includes the classes of symmetric and asymmetric distributions by which different behaviors of kurtosis in skewed and heavy tail data can be captured. By considering some closed convex cones and their duals, we derive some necessary and s...
متن کاملGlobal attractor for a nonlocal hyperbolic problem on ${mathcal{R}}^{N}$
We consider the quasilinear Kirchhoff's problem$$ u_{tt}-phi (x)||nabla u(t)||^{2}Delta u+f(u)=0 ,;; x in {mathcal{R}}^{N}, ;; t geq 0,$$with the initial conditions $ u(x,0) = u_0 (x)$ and $u_t(x,0) = u_1 (x)$, in the case where $N geq 3, ; f(u)=|u|^{a}u$ and $(phi (x))^{-1} in L^{N/2}({mathcal{R}}^{N})cap L^{infty}({mathcal{R}}^{N} )$ is a positive function. The purpose of our work is to ...
