Periodic quasiflats in hierarchically hyperbolic spaces

Pénélope Azuelos, Mark Hagen

We prove a quasiflat closing theorem and a coarse flat torus theorem for hierarchically hyperbolic groups (HHGs). Namely, given an HHG , we prove that is hyperbolic if and o…

Characterizing hierarchically hyperbolic free by cyclic groups

Eliot Bongiovanni, Pritam Ghosh, Funda Gültepe +1

We algebraically characterize free by cyclic groups that have coarse medians, and prove that this is equivalent to the a priori stronger properties of being colourable hierarchical…

Combination theorems for Wise's power alternative

Mark Hagen, Alexandre Martin, Giovanni Sartori

We show that Wise's power alternative is stable under certain group constructions, use this to prove the power alternative for new classes of groups, and recover known results from…

Induced quasi-isometries of hyperbolic spaces, Markov chains, and acylindrical hyperbolicity

Antoine Goldsborough, Mark Hagen, Harry Petyt +2

We show that quasi-isometries of (well-behaved) hierarchically hyperbolic groups descend to quasi-isometries of their maximal hyperbolic space. This has two applications, one relat…

A Combinatorial Structure for Many Hierarchically Hyperbolic Spaces

Mark Hagen, Giorgio Mangioni, Alessandro Sisto

The combinatorial hierarchical hyperbolicity criterion is a very useful way of constructing new hierarchically hyperbolic spaces (HHSs). We show that, conversely, HHSs satisfying n…

Some examples of separable convex-cocompact subgroups

Mark Hagen, Alessandro Sisto

Reid asked whether all convex-cocompact subgroups of mapping class groups are separable. Using a construction of Manning-Mj-Sageev, we give examples of separable convex-cocompact s…

Extra-large type Artin groups are hierarchically hyperbolic

Mark Hagen, Alexandre Martin, Alessandro Sisto

We show that Artin groups of extra-large type, and more generally Artin groups of large and hyperbolic type, are hierarchically hyperbolic. This implies in particular that these gr…

Projection complexes and quasimedian maps

Mark Hagen, Harry Petyt

We use the projection complex machinery of Bestvina--Bromberg--Fujiwara to study hierarchically hyperbolic groups. In particular, we show that if the group has a BBF colouring and…

Large facing tuples and a strengthened sector lemma

Mark Hagen

We prove a strengthened sector lemma for irreducible, finite-dimensional, locally finite, essential, cocompact CAT(0) cube complexes under the additional hypothesis that the comple…

A combinatorial take on hierarchical hyperbolicity and applications to quotients of mapping class groups

Jason Behrstock, Mark Hagen, Alexandre Martin +1

We give a simple combinatorial criterion, in terms of an action on a hyperbolic simplicial complex, for a group to be hierarchically hyperbolic. We apply this to show that quotient…

A remark on thickness of free-by-cyclic groups

Mark Hagen

Let be a free group of positive, finite rank and let be a polynomial-growth automorphism. Then is strongly thick of order , where is…

Dehn filling Dehn twists

François Dahmani, Mark Hagen, Alessandro Sisto

Let be the genus-- oriented surface with punctures, with either or . We show that is acylindrically hyperbolic where is the norma…

Panel collapse and its applications

Mark F. Hagen, Nicholas W. M. Touikan

We describe a procedure called panel collapse for replacing a CAT(0) cube complex by a "lower complexity" CAT(0) cube complex whenever contains a codimension-$2…

On hierarchical hyperbolicity of cubical groups

Mark F Hagen, Tim Susse

Let X be a proper CAT(0) cube complex admitting a proper cocompact action by a group G. We give three conditions on the action, any one of which ensures that X has a factor system…

Acylindrical hyperbolicity of cubical small-cancellation groups

Goulnara N. Arzhantseva, Mark F. Hagen

We provide an analogue of Strebel's classification of geodesic triangles in classical groups for groups given by Wise's cubical presentations satisfying sufficiently…

Asymptotic dimension and small-cancellation for hierarchically hyperbolic spaces and groups

Jason Behrstock, Mark F. Hagen, Alessandro Sisto

We prove that all hierarchically hyperbolic spaces have finite asymptotic dimension and obtain strong bounds on these dimensions. One application of this result is to obtain the sh…

Hierarchically hyperbolic spaces II: Combination theorems and the distance formula

Jason Behrstock, Mark F. Hagen, Alessandro Sisto

We introduce a number of tools for finding and studying \emph{hierarchically hyperbolic spaces (HHS)}, a rich class of spaces including mapping class groups of surfaces, Teichmülle…

Quantifying separability in virtually special groups

Mark F. Hagen, Priyam Patel

We give a new, effective proof of the separability of cubically convex-cocompact subgroups of special groups. As a consequence, we show that if is a virtually compact special h…

Cubulating hyperbolic free-by-cyclic groups: the general case

Mark F. Hagen, Daniel T. Wise

Let be an automorphism of the finite-rank free group . Suppose that is word-hyperbolic. Then acts freely and cocompactly on a CAT(…

Residual Finiteness Growths of Virtually Special Groups

Khalid Bou-Rabee, Mark F. Hagen, Priyam Patel

Let be a virtually special group. Then the residual finiteness growth of is at most linear. This result cannot be found by embedding into a special linear group. Indeed…

Thickness, relative hyperbolicity, and randomness in Coxeter groups

For right-angled Coxeter groups , we obtain a condition on that is necessary and sufficient to ensure that is thick and thus not relatively hyperbolic. We show that…

Cubulated groups: thickness, relative hyperbolicity, and simplicial boundaries

Jason Behrstock, Mark F. Hagen

Let G be a group acting geometrically on a CAT(0) cube complex X. We prove first that G is hyperbolic relative to the collection P of subgroups if and only if the simplicial bounda…
