Cocompactly cubulated crystallographic groups
نویسنده
چکیده
We prove that the simplicial boundary of a CAT(0) cube complex admitting a proper, cocompact action by a virtually Z group is isomorphic to the hyperoctahedral triangulation of Sn−1, providing a class of groups G for which the simplicial boundary of a G-cocompact cube complex depends only on G. We also use this result to show that the cocompactly cubulated crystallographic groups in dimension n are precisely those that are hyperoctahedral. We apply this result to answer a question of Wise on cocompactly cubulating virtually free abelian groups.

The Auslander Conjecture for Nil-affine Crystallographic Groups
We study subgroups Γ in Aff(N) = N ⋊ Aut(N) acting properly discontinuously and cocompactly on N . Here N is a simply connected, connected real nilpotent Lie group of finite dimension n. This situation is a natural generalization of the so-called affine crystallographic groups. We prove that for all dimensions 1 ≤ n ≤ 5 the generalized Auslander conjecture holds, i.e., that such subgroups are v...
متن کاملThe Borel Conjecture for hyperbolic and CAT(0)-groups
We prove the Borel Conjecture for a class of groups containing word-hyperbolic groups and groups acting properly, isometrically and cocompactly on a finite dimensional CAT(0)-space.
متن کاملThe Virtual Haken Conjecture
We prove that cubulated hyperbolic groups are virtually special. The proof relies on results of Haglund and Wise which also imply that they are linear groups, and quasi-convex subgroups are separable. A consequence is that closed hyperbolic 3-manifolds have finite-sheeted Haken covers, which resolves the virtual Haken question of Waldhausen and Thurston’s virtual fibering question. An appendix ...
متن کاملNonhyperbolic free-by-cyclic and one-relator groups
We show that the free-by-cyclic groups of the form F2 o Z act properly cocompactly on CAT(0) square complexes. We also show using generalized Baumslag–Solitar groups that all known groups defined by a 2-generator 1-relator presentation are either SQ-universal or are cyclic or isomorphic to a soluble Baumslag–Solitar group.
متن کاملCAT(0) cubical complexes for graph products of finitely generated abelian groups
We construct for every graph product of finitely generated abelian groups a CAT(0) cubical complex on which it acts properly and cocompactly. The complex generalizes (up to subdivision) the Salvetti complex of a right-angled Artin group and the Coxeter complex of a right-angled Coxeter group.
