متن کاملHyperbolic Manifolds, Discrete Groups and Ergodic Theory
1 Ergodic theory References for this section: CFS]. 1. The basic setting of ergodic theory: a measure-preserving transformation T of a probability space (X; B; m). Usually we assume T is invertible. (More generally, measure-preserving means R f T = R f; equivalently, m(T ?1 (A)) = mA.) How many measure spaces are there? Standard Borel spaces: any Borel subset of a complete, separable metric spa...
متن کاملVirtual properties of 3-manifolds
We will discuss the proof of Waldhausen’s conjecture that compact aspherical 3-manifolds are virtually Haken, as well as Thurston’s conjecture that hyperbolic 3manifolds are virtually fibered. The proofs depend on major developments in 3-manifold topology of the past decades, including Perelman’s resolution of the geometrization conjecture, results of Kahn and Markovic on the existence of immer...
متن کاملCat(0) and Cat(−1) Fillings of Hyperbolic Manifolds
We give new examples of hyperbolic and relatively hyperbolic groups of cohomological dimension d for all d ≥ 4 (see Theorem 2.13). These examples result from applying CAT(0)/CAT(−1) filling constructions (based on singular doubly warped products) to finite volume hyperbolic manifolds with toral cusps. The groups obtained have a number of interesting properties, which are established by analyzin...
متن کاملDistortion of Surface Groups in Cat(0) Free-by-cyclic Groups
Given a non-positively curved 2-complex with a circle-valued Morse function satisfying some extra combinatorial conditions, we describe how to locally isometrically embed this in a larger non-positively curved 2-complex with free-by-cyclic fundamental group. This embedding procedure is used to produce examples of CAT(0) free-by-cyclic groups that contain closed hyperbolic surface subgroups with...
