Virtual Amalgamation of Quasiconvex Subgroups
Abstract: The relatively hyperbolic groups, introduced by Gromov,
generalize the class of fundamental groups of complete finite volume
hyperbolic manifolds. When considering a relatively hyperbolic group as
a geometric object, the quasiconvex subgroups are the natural subgroups
to consider. Recently, special attention has been given to the study of
this class of subgroups. In this talk, some of the recent results for
quasiconvex subgroups will be discussed with emphasis on my recent work
on combination theorems for this class of subgroups.
