Relative quasiconvexity using fine hyperbolic graphs.

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We provide a new and elegant approach to relative quasiconvexity for relatively hyperbolic groups in the context of Bowditch's approach to relative hyperbolicity using cocompact actions on fine hyperbolic graphs. Our approach to quasiconvexity generalizes the other definitions in the literature that apply only for countable relatively hyperbolic groups. We also provide an elementary and self-contained proof that relatively quasiconvex subgroups are relatively hyperbolic.


The authors give a new definition of relatively quasiconvex subgroups of a relatively hyperbolic group. The definition is in the context of Bowditch's approach to relative hyperbolicity using cocompact actions on fine hyperbolic graphs. The notion applies for all countable and a class of uncountable relatively hyperbolic groups. The authors show that it is equivalent to the definitions studied by Hruska for countable relatively hyperbolic groups. The authors also provide an elementary and self-contained proof that relatively quasiconvex subgroups are relatively hyperbolic.
