A general construction of simultaneously hyperbolic elements

Abstract

In this paper, we give an explicit construction of simultaneously hyperbolic elements in a group acting on finitely many Gromov-hyperbolic spaces under the weakest conditions. This essentially generalizes results of Clay-Uyanik in \cite{CU18}, of Genevois in \cite{Gen19}, and of Balasubramanya-Fernós in \cite{BF24}. Besides, we show that the set of simultaneously hyperbolic elements has strictly positive density with respect to any proper word metric under the weakest conditions. This recovers many classical counting results, eg. the main result of Wiest in \cite{Wie17}. As an important ingredient in the proof of main results, we show that the set of simultaneously contracting elements in a group acting on finitely many metric spaces with contracting property has strictly positive density with respect to any proper word metric. This generalizes two results of Wan-Xu-Yang in \cite{WXY24} and of Balasubramanya-Fernós in \cite{BF24}.

Subindices and subfactors of $\mathbb{Z}_n$ and $k$-index stability of finite groups

We study subindices, subfactors, and index stability in the cyclic group $\mathbb{Z}_n$. We prove several theorems that not only confirm a conjecture and resolve some open problems about index stability of such groups, but also provide basic tools for the characterization of finite $k$-index stable groups. As a consequence, we completely characterize all 2-element index stable subsets of $\mathbb{Z}_n$, obtain an exact closed formula for their density, and determine all $n$ for which every 2-subset is index unstable. Finally, we present some problems and a research project extending the study to 3-subsets and general $k$-subsets.

Virtually generating graphs of pro-$p$ groups

We study the virtually generating graph of pro-$p$ groups. We show that various classes of pro-$p$ groups have connected virtually generating graph and we bound its diameter in these cases; e.g.\ compact subgroups of analytic groups over local fields and the Nottingham group.

Surface subgroups of Baumslag doubles along short words

If $U$ is a minimal, diskbusting, finite list of words in a free group $F_n$ of rank $n$ such that the sum of the lengths of words in $U$ is at most $2n+4$, we prove that the natural presentation complex of the Baumslag double of $F_n$ along $U$ virtually contains a $π_1$-injective embedded closed hyperbolic surface. This verifies the Tiling Conjecture of Kim and Wilton for this type of lists of words, and in particular, implies that the corresponding Baumslag double contains a hyperbolic surface subgroup.
