Subgroups of torsion-free hyperbolic groups versus subgroups of hyperbolic groups

Let $\mathcal{S}$ be the class of finitely presented torsion-free groups which occur as the subgroup of some hyperbolic group (so for every $G\in \mathcal{S}$ there exists a hyperbolic group $H$ such …

When is a generalised Baumslag-Solitar group linear?

$\DeclareMathOperator\BS{BS}$The linearity of the Baumslag-Solitar groups $\BS(m, n)=\langle a, t\mid t^{-1}a^mt=a^n\rangle$ is completely understood, and it may be phrased as: $\BS(m, n)$ is linear i …

$C'(\lambda)$ small cancellation for $\lambda < \frac{1}{6}$

Greendlinger's Lemma is about the geometry of disk diagrams. If we instead consider annular diagrams, the assumption that $\lambda<1/8$ gives an improved structural result. Annular diagrams encode the …

Groups acting non-properly cocompactly on hyperbolic spaces

Bass-Serre theory is the classical theory of groups acting on trees. Trees are hyperbolic, so this theory fits nicely into the context of this question. Standard examples of groups acting on trees co- …

Classes of groups with polynomial time isomorphism problem

A two-generator, one-relator group with torsion is a group with presentation of the form $\langle a, b\mid R^n\rangle$, $R\in F(a, b)$ and $n>1$. Their isomorphism problem is decidable in quadratic ti …
