Hyperbolic group with boundary $S^1$ implies virtually Fuchsian via bounded cohomology?

Question: Is there an approach to $\partial G \cong S^1$ implies virtually Fuchsian using bounded cohomology of $\mathrm{Homeo^+} (S^1)$? If not is there a reason to believe it wouldn't work, or maybe ...

Arithmetic Teichmüller curves, first eigenvalue of the Laplacian, McMullen's expander conjecture

$\DeclareMathOperator\SL{SL}$By a result due to Ellenberg and McReynolds, any finite index subgroup $\Gamma$ of $\Gamma(2) \subset \SL\left(2,\mathbb{Z}\right)$ is the Veech group of an arithmetic ...

Are there examples of hyperbolic manifolds with finite Bowen-Margulis measure and fundamental group which is not relatively hyperbolic?

It is well known that a geometrically finite hyperbolic manifold (quotient of $H^n$) has finite Bowen-Margulis measure. Marc Peigné [1] constructed examples of geometrically infinite hyperbolic ...

Question about martin boundaries of random walks induced on transient subgroups

Suppose $\Gamma$ is a discrete, finitely generated, non-amenable group, and consider a random walk given by a measure $\mu$. Assume the measure is symmetric, finitely generated, and the support of $\...

Discontinuity of Radon-Nikodym derivative for Patterson-Sullivan measures for word metrics on Gromov hyperbolic groups

Let $\Gamma$ be a Gromov hyperbolic group coming endowed with a word metric coming from some finite generating set. Let $\nu$ be an associated Patterson-Sullivan measure (quasi-conformal density). I ...

Hausdorff dimension of radial limit sets for divergence type subgroups

Let $X$ be a proper $CAT(-1)$ space. Let $\Gamma<Isom(X)$ be a subgroup of divergence type. Is it true that the Hausdorff dimension of the radial limit set of $\Gamma$ in $\partial X$ is equal to ...

Relations between $\Omega$-groups, locally indicable groups, and right-orderable groups

We know that the class of right-orderable groups $\mathit{RO}$, is contained in the class of $\Omega$-groups (read it from "A note on group rings of certain torsion-free groups" by Burns-Hale). A ...
