Quasiconvexity in relatively hyperbolic groups

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We study different notions of quasiconvexity for a subgroup H of a relatively hyperbolic group G. The first result establishes equivalent conditions for H to be relatively quasiconvex. As a corollary we obtain that the relative quasiconvexity is equivalent to the dynamical quasiconvexity. This answers to a question posed by D. Osin cite{Os06}. In the second part of the paper we prove that a subgroup H of a finitely generated relatively hyperbolic group G acts cocompactly outside its limit set if and only if it is (absolutely) quasiconvex and every its infinite intersection with a parabolic subgroup of G has finite index in the parabolic subgroup. Consequently we obtain a list of different subgroup properties and establish relations between them.


The authors study different notions of quasiconvexity for a subgroup \(H\) of a relatively hyperbolic group \(G\). It follows from the first main result of the paper under review that relative geometric quasiconvexity is equivalent to dynamical quasiconvexity as was conjectured in [\textit{D. V. Osin}, Mem. Am. Math. Soc. 843, 100 p. (2006; Zbl 1093.20025)]. The second main result claims that, for a finitely generated \(G\), the action of \(H\) outside its limit set is cocompact if and only if it is absolutely quasiconvex and every infinite intersection of \(H\) with a parabolic subgroup of \(G\) has finite index in the parabolic subgroup.
