Hierarchically hyperbolic spaces, I: Curve complexes for cubical groups

J Behrstock, M Hagen, A Sisto - Geometry & Topology, 2017 - msp.org
In the context of CAT (0) cubical groups, we develop an analogue of the theory of curve
complexes and subsurface projections. The role of the subsurfaces is played by a collection …

Contracting boundaries of CAT (0) spaces

R Charney, H Sultan - Journal of Topology, 2015 - academic.oup.com
As demonstrated by Croke and Kleiner, the visual boundary of a CAT (0) group is not well-
defined since quasi-isometric CAT (0) spaces can have non-homeomorphic boundaries. We …

[HTML][HTML] Hyperbolic models for cat (0) spaces

H Petyt, D Spriano, A Zalloum - Advances in Mathematics, 2024 - Elsevier
We introduce two new tools for studying CAT (0) spaces: curtains, versions of cubical
hyperplanes; and the curtain model, a counterpart of the curve graph. These tools shed new …

Hyperbolicities in CAT (0) cube complexes

A Genevois - L'Enseignement Mathématique, 2020 - ems.press
This paper is a survey dedicated to the following question: given a group acting on a CAT (0)
cube complex, how to exploit this action to determine whether or not the group is …

Boundaries and automorphisms of hierarchically hyperbolic spaces

M Durham, M Hagen, A Sisto - Geometry & Topology, 2017 - msp.org
Hierarchically hyperbolic spaces provide a common framework for studying mapping class
groups of finite-type surfaces, Teichmüller space, right-angled Artin groups, and many other …

The geometry of the curve graph of a right-angled Artin group

SH Kim, T Koberda - International Journal of Algebra and …, 2014 - World Scientific
We develop an analogy between right-angled Artin groups and mapping class groups
through the geometry of their actions on the extension graph and the curve graph …

On hierarchical hyperbolicity of cubical groups

MF Hagen, T Susse - Israel Journal of Mathematics, 2020 - Springer
Let χ 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 χ has a factor system …

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

J Behrstock, MF Hagen, A Sisto - Proceedings of the London …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
We prove that all hierarchically hyperbolic groups have finite asymptotic dimension. One
application of this result is to obtain the sharpest known bound on the asymptotic dimension …

The median class and superrigidity of actions on CAT (0) cube complexes

I Chatterji, T Fernós, A Iozzi - Journal of Topology, 2016 - academic.oup.com
We define a bounded cohomology class, called the median class, in the second bounded
cohomology, with appropriate coefficients, of the automorphism group of a finite-dimensional …

Contracting isometries of CAT (0) cube complexes and acylindrical hyperbolicity of diagram groups

A Genevois - Algebraic & Geometric Topology, 2020 - msp.org
The main technical result of this paper is to characterize the contracting isometries of a CAT
(0) cube complex without any assumption on its local finiteness. Afterwards, we introduce …
