Abstract: We investigate unbounded domains in hierarchically hyperbolic groups and obtain constraints on the possible hierarchical structures. Using these insights, we characterise the structures of virtually abelian HHGs and show that the class of HHGs is not closed under finite extensions. This provides a strong answer to the question of whether being an HHG is invariant under quasiisometries. Along the way, we show that infinite torsion groups are not HHGs. By ruling out pathological behaviours, we are able to give simpler, direct proofs of the rank-rigidity and omnibus subgroup theorems for HHGs. This involves extending our techniques so that they apply to all subgroups of HHGs.

Review text

Hierarchically hyperbolic spaces and groups were introduced by \textit{J. Behrstock} et al. [Geom. Topol. 21, No. 3, 1731--1804 (2017; Zbl 1439.20043)] with the aim of providing a common framework for studying mapping class groups and cubical groups. The definitions of hierarchically hyperbolic spaces and hierarchically hyperbolic groups are rather technical (see Definition 13.1 in [loc. cit]). In this paper, the authors investigate unbounded domains in hierarchically hyperbolic groups and obtain constraints on the possible hierarchical structures. Using these insights, they characterize characterise the structures of virtually abelian hierarchically hyperbolic groups and show that the class of hierarchically hyperbolic groups is not closed under finite extensions. This provides a strong negative answer to the question of whether being an hierarchically hyperbolic groups is invariant under quasi-isometries. The authors also prove that infinite torsion groups are not hierarchically hyperbolic groups.
