## Post-edited  The conjugacy problem for polynomially growing elements of $Out(F_{n})$ Feighn, Mark (Auteur de la Conférence) | CIRM (Editeur )

(joint work with Michael Handel) $Out(F_{n}) := Aut(F_{n})/Inn(F_{n})$ denotes the outer automorphism group of the rank n free group $F_{n}$. An element $f$ of $Out(F_{n})$ is polynomially growing if the word lengths of conjugacy classes in Fn grow at most polynomially under iteration by $f$. The existence in $Out(F_{n}), n > 2$, of elements with non-linear polynomial growth is a feature of $Out(F_{n})$ not shared by mapping class groups of surfaces.
To avoid some finite order behavior, we restrict attention to the subset $UPG(F_{n})$ of $Out(F_{n})$ consisting of polynomially growing elements whose action on $H_{1}(F_{n}, Z)$ is unipotent. In particular, if $f$ is polynomially growing and acts trivially on $H_{1}(F_{n}, Z_{3})$ then $f$ is in $UPG(F_{n})$ and further every polynomially growing element of $Out(F_{n})$ has a power that is in $UPG(F_{n})$. The goal of the talk is to describe an algorithm to decide given $f,g$ in $UPG(F_{n})$ whether or not there is h in $Out(F_{n})$ such that $hf h^{-1} = g$.
The conjugacy problem for linearly growing elements of $UPG(F_{n})$ was solved by Cohen-Lustig. Krstic-Lustig-Vogtmann solved the case of linearly growing elements of $Out(F_{n})$.
A key technique is our use of train track representatives for elements of $Out(F_{n})$, a method pioneered by Bestvina-Handel in the early 1990s that has since been ubiquitous in the study of $Out(F_{n})$.

## Post-edited  The visual boundary of hyperbolic free-by-cyclic groups Stark, Emily (Auteur de la Conférence) | CIRM (Editeur )

Given an automorphism of the free group, we consider the mapping torus defined with respect to the automorphism. If the automorphism is atoroidal, then the resulting free-by-cyclic group is hyperbolic by work of Brinkmann. In addition, if the automorphism is fully irreducible, then work of Kapovich-Kleiner proves the boundary of the group is homeomorphic to the Menger curve. However, their proof is very general and gives no tools to further study the boundary and large-scale geometry of these groups. In this talk, I will explain how to construct explicit embeddings of non-planar graphs into the boundary of these groups whenever the group is hyperbolic. Along the way, I will illustrate how our methods distinguish free-by-cyclic groups which are the fundamental group of a 3-manifold. This is joint work with Yael Algom-Kfir and Arnaud Hilion.

## Post-edited  Automorphisms of hyperbolic groups and growth Horbez, Camille (Auteur de la Conférence) | CIRM (Editeur )

Let $G$ be a torsion-free hyperbolic group, let $S$ be a finite generating set of $G$, and let $f$ be an automorphism of $G$. We want to understand the possible growth types for the word length of $f^n(g)$, where $g$ is an element of $G$. Growth was completely described by Thurston when $G$ is the fundamental group of a hyperbolic surface, and can be understood from Bestvina-Handel's work on train-tracks when $G$ is a free group. We address the general case of a torsion-free hyperbolic group $G$; we show that every element in $G$ has a well-defined exponential growth rate under iteration of $f$, and that only finitely many exponential growth rates arise as $g$ varies in $G$. In addition, we show the following dichotomy: every element of $G$ grows either exponentially fast or polynomially fast under iteration of $f$.
This is a joint work with Rémi Coulon, Arnaud Hilion and Gilbert Levitt.

## Post-edited  On subgroups of R. Thompson's group $F$ Sapir, Mark (Auteur de la Conférence) | CIRM (Editeur )

We provide two ways to show that the R. Thompson group $F$ has maximal subgroups of infinite index which do not fix any number in the unit interval under the natural action of $F$ on $(0,1)$, thus solving a problem by D. Savchuk. The first way employs Jones' subgroup of the R. Thompson group $F$ and leads to an explicit finitely generated example. The second way employs directed 2-complexes and 2-dimensional analogs of Stallings' core graphs, and gives many implicit examples. We also show that $F$ has a decreasing sequence of finitely generated subgroups $F>H_1>H_2>...$ such that $\cap H_i={1}$ and for every $i$ there exist only finitely many subgroups of $F$ containing $H_i$.

## Post-edited  Endomorphisms, train track maps, and fully irreducible monodromies Kapovich, Ilya (Auteur de la Conférence) | CIRM (Editeur )

An endomorphism of a finitely generated free group naturally descends to an injective endomorphism on the stable quotient. We establish a geometric incarnation of this fact : an expanding irreducible train track map inducing an endomorphism of the fundamental group determines an expanding irreducible train track representative of the injective endomorphism of the stable quotient. As an application, we prove that the property of having fully irreducible monodromy for a splitting of a hyperbolic free-by-cyclic group G depends only on the component of the BNS invariant $\sum \left ( G \right )$ containing the associated homomorphism to the integers. In particular, it follows that if G is the mapping torus of an atoroidal fully irreducible automorphism of a free group and if the union of $\sum \left ( G \right )$ and $\sum \left ( G \right )$ is connected then for every splitting of $G$ as a (f.g. free)-by-(infinite cyclic) group the monodromy is fully irreducible.
This talk is based on joint work with Spencer Dowdall and Christopher Leininger.

## Post-edited  Random subgroups, totally non free actions and factor representations Grigorchuk, Rostislav (Auteur de la Conférence) | CIRM (Editeur )

I will present results of three studies, performed in collaboration with M.Benli, L.Bowen, A.Dudko, R.Kravchenko and T.Nagnibeda, concerning the invariant and characteristic random subgroups in some groups of geometric origin, including hyperbolic groups, mapping class groups, groups of intermediate growth and branch groups. The role of totally non free actions will be emphasized. This will be used to explain why branch groups have infinitely many factor representations of type $II_1$.

## Multi angle  Ergodic theory of affine isometric actions on Hilbert spaces Marrakchi, Amine (Auteur de la Conférence) | CIRM (Editeur )

The Gaussian functor associates to every orthogonal representation of a group G on a Hilbert space, a probability measure preserving action of G called a Gaussian action. This construction is a fundamental tool in ergodic theory and is the source of a large and interesting class of probability measure preserving actions. In this talk, I will present a generalization of the Gaussian functor which associates to every affine isometric action of G on a Hilbert space, a nonsingular Gaussian action which is not measure preserving. This provides a new and large class of nonsingular actions whose properties are related in a very subtle way to the geometry of the original affine isometric action. In some cases, such as affine isometric actions comming from groups acting on trees, a fascinating phase transition phenomenon occurs.This talk is based on a joint work with Yuki Arano and Yusuke Isono, as well as a more recent joint work with Stefaan Vaes.

## Multi angle  Measure equivalence and right-angled Artin groups Horbez, Camille (Auteur de la Conférence) | CIRM (Editeur )

Given a finite simple graph X, the right-angled Artin group associated to X is defined by the following very simple presentation: it has one generator per vertex of X, and the only relations consist in imposing that two generators corresponding to adjacent vertices commute. We investigate right-angled Artin groups from the point of view of measured group theory. Our main theorem is that two right-angled Artin groups with finite outer automorphism groups are measure equivalent if and only if they are isomorphic. On the other hand, right-angled Artin groups are never superrigid from this point of view: given any right-angled Artin group G, I will also describe two ways of producing groups that are measure equivalent to G but not commensurable to G.This is joint work with Jingyin Huang.

## Multi angle  Torsion groups do not act on 2-dimensional CAT(0) complexes Przytycki, Piotr (Auteur de la Conférence) | CIRM (Editeur )

We show, under mild hypotheses, that if each element of a finitely generated group acting on a 2-dimensional CAT(0) complex has a fixed point, then the action is trivial. In particular, all actions of finitely generated torsion groups on such complexes are trivial. As an ingredient, we prove that the image of an immersed loop in a graph of girth 2π with length not commensurable to π has diameter > π. This is related to a theorem of Dehn on tiling rectangles by squares.
This is joint work with Sergey Norin and Damian Osajda.

## Multi angle  Artin groups and mapping class groups Hamenstädt, Ursula (Auteur de la Conférence) | CIRM (Editeur )

Using a very recent result of Calderon and Salter, we relate small type Artin groups defined by Coxeter diagram which are trees to mapping class groups. This gives information on both the Artin groups with respect to commensurability and hyperbolicity of the parabolic subgroup graph as well as information on the mapping class group and its associated geometric spaces, namely generating sets of finite index subgroups and fundamental groups of strata of abelian differentials. I’ll try to highlight the many ways in which this reflects various aspects of Mladen’s work.

## Multi angle  Conformal dimension and free by cyclic groups Algom-Kfir, Yael (Auteur de la Conférence) | CIRM (Editeur )

Let $G$ be a hyperbolic group. Its boundary is a topological invariant within the quasi-isometry class of $G$ but it is far from being a complete invariant, e.g. a random group at density ¡1/2 is hyperbolic (Gromov) and its boundary is homeomorphic to the Menger curve (Dahmani-Guirardel-Przytycki) but Mackay proved that there are infinitely many quasi-isometry classes of random groups at density d for small enough d.
We discuss the conformal dimension of a hyperbolic group, a quasi-isometry invariant introduced by Pansu. Paulin proved that this is a complete $QI$ invariant of the group. We discuss a technique of Pansu and Bourdon for bounding the conformal dimension from below. We then relate this technique to the family of hyperbolic free by cyclic groups. This is work in progress towards the ultimate goal of showing that there are infinitely many $QI$ classes of free by cyclic groups.
This is joint work with Bestvina, Hilion and Stark

## Multi angle  $L^2$ spectral gap and group actions on Banach spaces de la Salle, Mikael (Auteur de la Conférence) | CIRM (Editeur )

Exploring the relations between algebraic and geometric properties of a group and the geometry of the Banach spaces on which it can act is a fascinating program, still widely mysterious, and which is tightly connected to coarse embeddability of graphs into Banach spaces. I will present a recent contribution, joint with Tim de Laat, where we give a spectral (hilbertian) criterion for fixed point properties on uniformly curved Banach spaces.

## Multi angle  Finite quotients in coarse geometry Khukhro, Anastasia (Auteur de la Conférence) | CIRM (Editeur )

The study of groups often sheds light on problems in various areas of mathematics. Whether playing the role of certain invariants in topology, or encoding symmetries in geometry, groups help us understand many mathematical objects in greater depth. In coarse geometry, one can use groups to construct examples or counterexamples with interesting or surprising properties. In this talk, we will introduce one such metric object arising from finite quotients of finitely generated groups, and survey some of its useful properties and associated constructions.

## Multi angle  Homomorphisms to 3-manifold groups and other families Groves, Daniel (Auteur de la Conférence) | CIRM (Editeur )

We are interested in the structure of the set of homomorphisms from a fixed (but arbitrary) finitely generated group G to the groups in some fixed family (such as the family of 3-manifold groups). I will explain what one might hope to say in different situations, and explain some applications to relatively hyperbolic groups and acylindrically hyperbolic groups, and some hoped-for applications to 3-manifold groups.
This is joint work with Michael Hull and joint work in preparation with Michael Hull and Hao Liang.

## Multi angle  The Farrell-Jones conjecture for free-by-cyclic groups Bestvina, Mladen (Auteur de la Conférence) | CIRM (Editeur )

The Farrell-Jones conjecture for a given group is an important conjecture in manifold theory. I will review some of its consequences and will discuss a class of groups for which it is known, for example 3-manifold groups. Finally, I will discuss a proof that free-by-cyclic groups satisfy FJC, answering a question of Lück.
This is joint work with Koji Fujiwara and Derrick Wigglesworth.

## Multi angle  Groups with Bowditch boundary a 2-sphere Tshishiku, Bena (Auteur de la Conférence) | CIRM (Editeur )

Bestvina-Mess showed that the duality properties of a group $G$ are encoded in any boundary that gives a Z-compactification of $G$. For example, a hyperbolic group with Gromov boundary an $n$-sphere is a PD$(n+1)$ group. For relatively hyperbolic pairs $(G,P)$, the natural boundary - the Bowditch boundary - does not give a Z-compactification of G. Nevertheless we show that if the Bowditch boundary of $(G,P)$ is a 2-sphere, then $(G,P)$ is a PD(3) pair.
This is joint work with Genevieve Walsh.

## Multi angle  Random graphs and applications to Coxeter groups Behrstock, Jason (Auteur de la Conférence) | CIRM (Editeur )

Erdös and Rényi introduced a model for studying random graphs of a given "density" and proved that there is a sharp threshold at which lower density random graphs are disconnected and higher density ones are connected. Motivated by ideas in geometric group theory we will explain some new threshold theorems we have discovered for random graphs. We will then explain applications of these results to the geometry of Coxeter groups. Some of this talk will be on joint work with Hagen and Sisto; other parts are joint work with Hagen, Susse, and Falgas-Ravry.

## Multi angle  Invariant random subgroups of acylindrically hyperbolic groups Osin, Denis V. (Auteur de la Conférence) | CIRM (Editeur )

A subgroup $H$ of an acylindrically hyperbolic groups $G$ is called geometrically dense if for every non-elementary acylindrical action of $G$ on a hyperbolic space, the limit sets of $G$ and $H$ coincide. We prove that for every ergodic measure preserving action of a countable acylindrically hyperbolic group $G$ on a Borel probability space, either the stabilizer of almost every point is geometrically dense in $G$, or the action is essentially almost free (i.e., the stabilizers are finite). Various corollaries and generalizations of this result will be discussed.

## Multi angle  Growth under random products of automorphisms of a free group Horbez, Camille (Auteur de la Conférence) | CIRM (Editeur )

Given a nontrivial conjugacy class $g$ in a free group $F_{N}$, what can we say about the typical growth of g under application of a random product of auto-morphisms of $F_{N}$? I will present a law of large numbers, a central limit theorem and a spectral theorem in this context. Similar results also hold for the growth
of simple closed curves on a closed hyperbolic surface, under application of a random product of mapping classes of the surface. This is partly joint work with François Dahmani.
