The Geometry of Cycles in the Cayley Diagram of a Group

A piece of a labelled graph $\Gamma$ defined by D. Gruber is a labelled path that embeds into $\Gamma$ in two essentially different ways. We prove that graphical $Gr'(\frac{1}{6})$ small cancellation groups whose associated pieces have uniformly bounded length are relative hyperbolic. In fact, we show that the Cayley graph of such group presentation is asymptotically tree-graded with respect to the collection of all embedded components of the defining graph $\Gamma$, if and o...

For a group $G$, we define a graph $\Delta(G)$ by letting $G^{\#} = G \setminus \{ 1 \}$ be the set of vertices and by drawing an edge between distinct elements $x,y\in G^{\#}$ if and only if the subgroup $\langle x,y\rangle$ is cyclic. Recall that a $Z$-group is a group where every Sylow subgroup is cyclic. In this short note, we investigate $\Delta(G)$ for a $Z$-group $G$.

Let G be a finitely generated group and Cay(G, S) be the Cayley graph of G with respect to a finite generating set S. We characterize the Gromov hyperbolicity of G in terms of the genericity of contracting elements in Cay(G, S).

In their first article, the authors initiated a systematic study of hyperbolic $\Lambda$-metric spaces, where $\Lambda$ is an ordered abelian group, and groups acting on such spaces. The present paper concentrates on the case $\Lambda = \mathbf{Z}^n$ taken with the right lexicographic order and studies the structure of finitely generated groups acting on hyperbolic $\mathbf{Z}^n$-metric spaces. Under certain constraints, the structure of such groups is described in terms of a...

In this paper, we take the classic dihedral and quaternion groups and explore questions like "what if we replace $i=e^{2\pi i/4}$ in $Q_8$ with a larger root of unity?" and "what if we add a reflection to $Q_8$?" The delightful answers reveal lesser-known families like the dicyclic, diquaternion, semidihedral, and semiabelian groups, which come to life with visuals such as Cayley graphs, cycle graphs, and subgroup lattices.

A Cayley dihypergraph is a directed hypergraph that its automorphism group contains a subgroup acting regularly on (hyper)vertices and a Cayley hypermap is a hypermap whose automorphism group contains a subgroup which induces regular action on the (hyper)vertex set. In this paper, we study Cayley dihypergraphs and construct Cayley hypermaps which have high level of symmetry. Our main goal is to present the general theory so as to make it clear to study Cayley hypermaps.

This paper describes some generalizations of the results presented in the book "Geometry of defining Relations in Groups" , of A.Yu.Ol'shanskii to the case of non-cyclic torsion-free hyperbolic groups. In particular, it is proved that for every non-cyclic torsion-free hyperbolic group, there exists a non-Abelian torsion-free quotient group in which all proper subgroups are cyclic, and the intersection of any two of them is not trivial.

We show that any group that is hyperbolic relative to virtually nilpotent subgroups, and does not admit peripheral splittings, contains a quasi-isometrically embedded copy of the hyperbolic plane. In natural situations, the specific embeddings we find remain quasi-isometric embeddings when composed with the inclusion map from the Cayley graph to the coned-off graph, as well as when composed with the quotient map to "almost every" peripheral (Dehn) filling. We apply our theo...

This is an expository article about groups generated by two isometries of the complex hyperbolic plane.

For locally finite infinite graphs the notion of Hamilton cycles can be extended to Hamilton circles, homeomorphic images of $S^1$ in the Freudenthal compactification. In this paper we extend some well-known theorems of the Hamiltonicity of finite Cayley graphs to infinite Cayley graphs.
