Are there free and discrete subgroups of $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{R}) \times \mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{R})$ that are not Schottky on any factor?
$\DeclareMathOperator\SL{SL}$Does there exist a free and discrete subgroup $\Gamma < \SL_2(\mathbb{R}) \times \SL_2(\mathbb{R})$ such that neither $\pi_1(\Gamma)$ nor $\pi_2(\Gamma)$ is free and ...

A group acting acylindrically on a fine hyperbolic graph with infinite edge stabilizers
I am looking for an example of a group $G$ that acts (cocompactly and) acylindrically on a hyperbolic graph $\Gamma$, such that
a) the graph $\Gamma$ is fine,
b) $\Gamma$ is not a tree,
c) not all ...

Maximum relator and hyperbolicity
It is a well-known theorem that a finitely generated group is hyperbolic if and only if it admits a finite Dehn presentation. To prove the "only if" direction one proceeds roughly as follows:
Suppose ...

Finitely generated nilpotent groups as cusp groups
I recently learned about the following question, asked by I. Kapovich :
Is there an example of a group $G$ which is hyperbolic relative to some parabolic subgroups that are nilpotent of class $\geq 3$...

Exotic actions of hyperbolic groups
Let $G$ be a hyperbolic group acting faithfully on $\mathbb{Z}$ such that:
The action is highly transitive - it is $k$-transitive for each $k \in \mathbb{N}$.
For every quasiconvex subgroup $H \leq G$...

Local curvature in a Cayley complex
I'm curious about non-shperical regions in the Cayley complex of a hyperbolic group $G = < X : R \>$ that one might reasonably consider "curved", but I haven't found much discussion of local ...
