We focus on the class of acylindrically hyperbolic groups; it is broad enough to include many examples of interest, yet a significant part of the theory of hyperbolic and relatively hyperbolic groups can be generalized in this context. In particular, we discuss group theoretic Dehn filling and small cancellation theory in acylindrically hyperbolic groups. Many results discussed here rely on the new generalization of relative hyperbolicity based on the notion of a hyperbolically embedded subgroup.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-12-03T18:45:27.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "hyperbolic spaces", "groups acting", "acylindrically hyperbolic groups", "small cancellation theory", "relatively hyperbolic groups" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
