Residual finiteness of hyperbolic 3-manifold groups

Sam Nead's answer does it, but perhaps I can offer a slightly different perspective on Question 1. No complicated hyperbolic gluing results are needed. I assume we are satisfied with the characterisat …

Does length spectrum determine a hyperbolic 3-manifold? What if we also know holonomies?

I think your questions are answered by this paper of Leininger, McReynolds, Neumann and Reid. In their terminology, your first question is asking about manifolds with equal length sets, and your seco …

Finite covers of hyperbolic surfaces and the `second systole´

[17/4/17: edited to correct proof.] This is true. First, we need a lemma which builds a related cover. Throughout, $\alpha$ is a simple closed geodesic of length $\ell$, and $\beta_1,\ldots,\beta_n$ …

Fundamental groups of hyperbolic $4$-manifolds and $\rm CAT(0)$ cube complexes

This question is certainly open in general. I don't know if anyone has formally expressed an 'expectation' in print, but you might be interested in the following pieces of positive evidence. I believ …

Hyperbolic knot complement groups and relative dimension

Proposition 9.6 of M. Kapovich's 'Homological dimension and critical exponent of Kleinian groups' (it's Proposition 9.5 of the arXiv version) asserts that the cohomological dimension of the pair $(G,\ …

Can the finiteness of a Burnside group with two generators be checked algorithmically by usi...

The answer to your Question 1 is certainly 'yes', for the reason you already explained: $\mathbb{H}^2/K_4$ is a Riemann surface, and its quotient by the finite group $B(2,4)$ is compact. I don't know …

Virtual fibering conjecture for cusped hyperbolic manifolds

It does hold - Wise proved that finite-volume non-compact hyperbolic 3-manifolds are virtually special, hence virtually RFRS and so virtually fibred by one of Agol's results. Details and references a …

Density of ends of long words in a hyperbolic group

This sort of thing was worked out by Coornaert, who constructed Patterson--Sullivan measures on the boundaries of word-hyperbolic groups: Michel Coornaert, Mesures de Patterson-Sullivan sur le bord d …

Topology of boundaries of hyperbolic groups

There are plenty of other possibilities. Here are a few examples: The boundary of the fundamental group of an acylindrical hyperbolic 3-manifold with totally geodesic boundary is homeomorphic to a S …

Why isn't $\langle x,y,z|xyzx^{-1}y^{-1}z^{-1}\rangle$ a hyperbolic surface group?

I think Lee's and Steve's comments pretty much answer this question. Let me try to summarize, and clear up a couple of misconceptions that seem to be lurking. For convenience, I'll denote your group …

Do quasi convex hyperbolic subgroups remain quasi convex after adding redundant generators?

As this is too long for a comment, I'll post it as an answer. As you seem to be interested in CAT(0) cube complexes, I want to point out that there is, in fact, a ninth type of quasiconvexity, which …

Examples of 3-manifolds with RFRS fundamental group

Agol's original paper on RFRS gives a nice short proof that the fundamental group of any manifold which also happens to be a finite-index subgroup of your favourite right-angled reflection group is RF …

Fundamental groups of closed hyperbolic 3-manifolds are freely indecomposable

One can also see it using the theory of ends. If $\pi_1M$ were freely decomposable, then it would follow from the easy direction of Stallings' Ends Theorem that $\pi_1M$ had two or infinitely many en …

Theorem(Long and Niblo): If $M$ is a 3-manifold and $S$ is an incompressible component of $\partial M$ then $\pi_1 S$ is separable in $\pi_1 M$ (pick a base point in $S$ to make sense of this). This …

〈x,y : x^p = y^p = (xy)^p = 1〉

Your group is the fundamental group of a 2-dimensional orbifold with underlying surface the 2-sphere and 3 cone points of order p. It follows that it acts properly discontinuously and cocompactly by …
