Cat(0) and Cat(−1) Fillings of Hyperbolic Manifolds

چکیده
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 analyzing their boundaries at infinity by a kind of Morse-theoretic technique, related to but distinct from ordinary and combinatorial Morse theory (see Section 5).

Cusped hyperbolic 3-manifolds: canonically CAT(0) with CAT(0) spines
We prove that every finite-volume hyperbolic 3-manifold M with p ≥ 1 cusps admits a canonical, complete, piecewise Euclidean CAT(0) metric, with a canonical projection to a CAT(0) spine K∗ M . Moreover: (a) The universal cover of M endowed with the CAT(0) metric is a union of Euclidean half-spaces, glued together by identifying Euclidean polygons in their bounding planes by pairwise isometry; (...
متن کاملAn Example of 2-dimensional Hyperbolic Group Which Can't Act on 2-dimensional Negatively Curved Complexes
It is a long standing open problem wether or not any word hyperbolic group admits a discrete faithful cocompact isometric action on a space of negative curvature. The goal of this note is to show that the answer is negative if one restricts to the class of groups of isometries of 2-dimensional CAT(0)-complexes. Namely, we will prove the following: Theorem 0.1 There exists a word-hyperbolic grou...
متن کاملDehn filling of cusped hyperbolic 3-manifolds with geodesic boundary
We define for each g > 2 and k > 0 a set Mg,k of orientable hyperbolic 3manifolds with k toric cusps and a connected totally geodesic boundary of genus g. Manifolds in Mg,k have Matveev complexity g+k and Heegaard genus g+1, and their homology, volume, and Turaev-Viro invariants depend only on g and k. In addition, they do not contain closed essential surfaces. The cardinality of Mg,k for a fix...
متن کاملNon-hyperbolic automatic groups and groups acting on CAT(0) cube complexes
This note is a brief summary of my talk that I gave at RIMS workshop “Complex Analysis and Topology of Discrete Groups and Hyperbolic Spaces.” See [4] for detail. If a group G has a finite K(G, 1) and does not contain any Baumslag–Solitar groups, is G hyperbolic? (See [1].) This is one of the most famous questions on hyperbolic groups. Probably, many people expect that the answer is negative, a...
متن کاملOn Hyperbolic 3-manifolds Realizing the Maximal Distance between Toroidal Dehn Fillings
For a hyperbolic 3-manifold M with a torus boundary component, all but finitely many Dehn fillings on the torus component yield hyperbolic 3manifolds. In this paper, we will focus on the situation where M has two exceptional Dehn fillings, both of which yield toroidal manifolds. For such situation, Gordon gave an upper bound for the distance between two slopes of Dehn fillings. In particular, i...
