The convex and concave decomposition of manifolds with real projective structures
We provide a solution to the isomorphism problem for torsion-free relatively hyperbolic groups with abelian parabolics. As special cases we recover solutions to the isomorphism problem for: (i) torsion-free hyperbolic groups (Sela, [60] and unpublished); and (ii) finitely generated fully residually free groups (Bumagin, Kharlampovich and Miasnikov [14]). We also give a solution to the homeomorphism problem for finite volume hyperbolic -manifolds, for . In the course of the proof of the main result,...
The focus of this paper are questions related to how various geometric and analytical properties of hyperbolic 3-manifolds determine the commensurability class of such manifolds. The paper is for the large part a survey of recent work.
