چکیده

We show that for any n ∈ N there exists a constant C(n) such that any n-generated group G which acts by isometries on a δ-hyperbolic space (with δ > 0) is either free or has a nontrivial element with translation length at most δC(n).

Indecomposable Groups Acting on Hyperbolic Spaces

We obtain a number of finiteness results for groups acting on hy-perbolic spaces and R-trees. In particular we show that a torsion-free locally quasiconvex hyperbolic group has only finitely many conjugacy classes of n-generated one-ended subgroups. We also prove an acylindrical accessibility theorem for groups acting on R-trees.

On some fixed points properties and convergence theorems for a Banach operator in hyperbolic spaces

In this paper, we prove some fixed points properties and demiclosedness principle for a Banach operator in uniformly convex hyperbolic spaces. We further propose an iterative scheme for approximating a fixed point of a Banach operator and establish some strong and $Delta$-convergence theorems for such operator in the frame work of uniformly convex hyperbolic spaces. The results obtained in this...

Almost simple groups with Socle $G_2(q)$ acting on finite linear spaces

 After the classification of the flag-transitive linear spaces, the attention has been turned to line-transitive linear spaces. In this article, we present a partial classification of the finite linear spaces $mathcal S$ on which an almost simple group $G$ with the socle $G_2(q)$ acts line-transitively.

Orbit Spaces Arising from Isometric Actions on Hyperbolic Spaces

Let be a differentiable action of a Lie group on a differentiable manifold and consider the orbit space with the quotient topology.  Dimension of is called the cohomogeneity of the action of  on . If is a differentiable manifold  of  cohomogeneity one under the action of  a compact and connected Lie group, then the orbit space is homeomorphic to one of the spaces , , or . In this paper we suppo...

Sublinear deviation between geodesics and sample paths

We give a proof of the sublinear tracking property for sample paths of random walks on various groups acting on spaces with hyperbolic-like properties. As an application, we prove sublinear tracking in Teichmüller distance for random walks on mapping class groups, and on Cayley graphs of a large class of finitely generated groups.
