The theorems he predicted were proved by other means. Eventually, Igor Mineyev produced a construction of the geodesic flow for an arbitrary hyperbolic group. It’s a very wild object; I don’t think it ever gives a manifold unless you start with one. | |

update to include stuff on word hyperbolic groups
