Combination of locally quasiconvex hyperbolic TDLC groups and Cannon-Thurston maps

Abstract

In this article, we study acylindrical graphs of groups, local quasiconvexity, and Cannon-Thurston maps in the setting of totally disconnected locally compact (TDLC) hyperbolic groups, extending several fundamental notions and results from discrete hyperbolic groups to this broader context. Leveraging Dahmani's technique and a topological characterization of hyperbolic TDLC groups in terms of uniform convergence groups given by Carette-Dreesen, we prove a combination theorem for an acylindrical graph of hyperbolic TDLC groups and give an explicit construction of the Gromov boundary of the fundamental group of the given graph of groups. Using the description of the Gromov boundary, we prove our main result: a combination theorem for an acylindrical graph of locally quasiconvex hyperbolic TDLC groups. Further, we generalise the work of Mosher, proving the existence of quasiisometric sections for a given short exact sequence of hyperbolic TDLC groups. This leads us to prove the existence of a Cannon-Thurston map for a normal hyperbolic subgroup of a hyperbolic TDLC group, generalising a theorem of Mj.

Hyperfiniteness of boundary actions via tree decompositions

We study conditions for a countable group acting on a connected locally finite hyperbolic graph to induce a hyperfinite orbit equivalence relation on the Gromov boundary of the graph in terms of tree-decompositions of the graph. We prove that for a connected locally finite hyperbolic graph $X$ equipped with an action of a countable group $G$, if $(T, β)$ is a $G$-invariant tree-decomposition of $X$ such that each bag induces a connected subgraph $X_t$ of $X$ for each $t \in V(T)$, each adhesion set is finite and such that there are only finitely many $G$-orbits of edges of $T$, then the orbit equivalence relation of $G$ acting on the Gromov boundary $\partial X$ is hyperfinite provided the orbit equivalence relation of $G$ acting on $\partial T$ is hyperfinite and the orbit equivalence relations of the bag stabilizers acting on $\partial X_t$ are all hyperfinite. We show that the converse also holds if $(T, β)$ satisfies the additional property that each adhesion set distinguishes at least two ends of $X$.

Compatible additions on a six-element commutative semigroup: equational bases and subvariety lattices

Let $M$ be the six-element commutative semigroup occurring as the common multiplicative reduct of the semirings $SR_6$ and $TR_6$. The closing paragraph of Shao, Ren, and Gao~\cite{ShaoRenGao2026} asks for the finite-basis and subvariety questions for the four remaining compatible additions on $M$. We answer these questions for the four isomorphism types $R_{01},R_{02},R_{11},R_{12}$. First, we classify all compatible additions on $M$: there are nine labelled additions and six isomorphism types, parametrized by $R_{ij}$ with $0\leq i\leq j\leq 2$. For each of the four new types we give a graph-theoretic criterion for every identity, an explicit infinite basis, and a proof of nonfinite basability. The generated varieties $\V(R_{01})$ and $\V(R_{02})$ have eleven subvarieties each, while $\V(R_{11})$ has sixty-six. The lattice $\Sub(\V(R_{12}))$ is countably infinite. Every identity in this variety reduces to a subset of twenty-five fixed identities together with two monotone path families $γ_n$ and $\gammaD_n$. This yields a canonical signature $(H,p,q)$, complete normal forms, explicit meet and join operations, and a formula for all covers. There are 153 fixed nodes, 43 one-parameter families, and 9 two-parameter families; exactly eighteen subvarieties are finitely based, and the unique limit subvariety is $\V(SR_6)$. The strong nonfinite-basis status of the four finite semirings remains open.
