Criterion for Cannon’s Conjecture

چکیده
The Cannon Conjecture from the geometric group theory asserts that a word hyperbolic group that acts effectively on its boundary, and whose boundary is homeomorphic to the 2-sphere, is isomorphic to a Kleinian group. We prove the following Criterion for Cannon’s Conjecture: A hyperbolic group G (that acts effectively on its boundary) whose boundary is homeomorphic to the 2-sphere is isomorphic to a Kleinian group if and only if every two points in the boundary of G are separated by a quasi-convex surface subgroup. Thus, the Cannon’s conjecture is reduced to showing that such a group contains “enough” quasi-convex surface subgroups.

متن کاملThe Auslander-Reiten Conjecture for Group Rings
This paper studies the vanishing of $Ext$ modules over group rings. Let $R$ be a commutative noetherian ring and $ga$ a group. We provide a criterion under which the vanishing of self extensions of a finitely generated $Rga$-module $M$ forces it to be projective. Using this result, it is shown that $Rga$ satisfies the Auslander-Reiten conjecture, whenever $R$ has finite global dimension and $ga...

We study combinatorial modulus on self-similar metric spaces. We give new examples of hyperbolic groups whose boundaries satisfy a combinatorial version of the Loewner property, and prove Cannon’s conjecture for Coxeter groups. We also establish some connections with lp-cohomology.
متن کاملSufficiently Rich Families of Planar Rings
It has been conjectured that if G is a negatively curved discrete group with space at infinity ∂G the 2 -sphere, then G has a properly discontinuous, cocompact, isometric action on hyperbolic 3 -space. Cannon and Swenson reduced the conjecture to determining that a certain sequence of coverings of ∂G is conformal in the sense of Cannon’s combinatorial Riemann mapping theorem. In this paper it i...
متن کاملConstructing Subdivision Rules from Rational Maps
This paper deepens the connections between critically finite rational maps and finite subdivision rules. The main theorem is that if f is a critically finite rational map with no periodic critical points, then for any sufficiently large integer n the iterate f is the subdivision map of a finite subdivision rule. We are interested here in connections between finite subdivision rules and rational...
