Infinite graph product of groups II: Analytic properties

Abstract

We study analytic properties of graph product of finite groups with a hyperbolic defining graph. This is done by studying dynamics on the Bowditch compactification of the extension graph, or the crossing graph, of graph product. In particular, we provide a new class of convergence groups and identify the if and only if condition for this convergence action to be geometrically finite. We also provide a new class of properly proximal groups, relatively bi-exact groups, and groups with strongly solid group von Neumann algebras.
