High dimensional hyperbolic Coxeter groups that virtually fiber
Jean-Francois Lafont, Barry Minemyer, Gangotryi Sorcar +2
This paper provides an iterative procedure for constructing hyperbolic Coxeter groups that virtually fiber over that is flexible enough to yield infinitely many isomor…
Relative cubulation of relative strict hyperbolization
Daniel Groves, Jean-François Lafont, Jason Fox Manning +1
We prove that many relatively hyperbolic groups obtained by relative strict hyperbolization admit a cocompact action on a CAT(0) cubical complex. Under suitable assumptions on the…
Special cubulation of strict hyperbolization
Jean-François Lafont, Lorenzo Ruffoni
We prove that the Gromov hyperbolic groups obtained by the strict hyperbolization procedure of Charney and Davis are virtually compact special, hence linear and residually finite.…
Virtually cyclic dimension for 3-manifold groups
Kyle Joecken, Jean-François Lafont, Luis Jorge Sánchez Saldaña
Let G be the fundamental group of a connected, closed, orientable 3-manifold. We explicitly compute its virtually cyclic geometric dimension. Among the tools we use are the prime a…
Steenrod problem and the domination relation
Jean-François Lafont, Christoforos Neofytidis
We indicate how to combine some classical topology (Thom's work on the Steenrod problem) with some modern topology (simplicial volume) to show that every map between certain manifo…
Strong symbolic dynamics for geodesic flow on CAT(-1) spaces and other metric Anosov flows
David Constantine, Jean-François Lafont, Daniel J. Thompson
We prove that the geodesic flow on a locally CAT(-1) metric space which is compact, or more generally convex cocompact with non-elementary fundamental group, can be coded by a susp…
