Hyperbolic groups with logarithmic separation profile

Nir Lazarovich and Corentin Le Coz

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 25 (2025) 39–54
Abstract

We prove that hyperbolic groups with logarithmic separation profiles split over cyclic groups. This shows that such groups can be inductively built from Fuchsian groups and free groups by amalgamations and HNN extensions over finite or virtually cyclic groups. However, we show that not all groups admitting such a hierarchy have logarithmic separation profile by providing an example of a surface amalgam over a cyclic group with superlogarithmic separation profile.
