We prove that Cannon--Thurston maps do not exist for infinite torsion-free normal hyperbolic subgroups of a non-hyperbolic CAT(0) group with isolated flats with respect to the visual boundaries. We also show Cannon--Thurston maps do not exist for infinite torsion-free infinite-index normal CAT(0) subgroups with isolated flats in a non-hyperbolic CAT(0) group with isolated flats. We determine the isomorphism types of the normal subgroups in the above two settings.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-10-31T13:47:05.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20F65", "20F67", "20E07", "57M07", "57M27" ], "keywords": [ "cannon-thurston maps", "isolated flats", "infinite torsion-free infinite-index normal cat", "infinite torsion-free normal hyperbolic subgroups" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 17, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
