Small cancellation and outer automorphisms of Kazhdan groups acting on hyperbolic spaces

Ionuţ Chifan, Adrian Ioana, Denis Osin and Bin Sun

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 25 (2025) 5463–5501
Abstract

We show that every finite group is realized as the outer automorphism group of a hyperbolic group with Kazhdan property (T) and trivial finite radical. This result complements the well-known theorem of Paulin stating that the outer automorphism group of every hyperbolic group with property (T) is finite. We also show that, for every countable group Q, there exists an acylindrically hyperbolic group G with property (T) such that Out (G) Q. The proofs employ strengthened versions of some previously known results in small cancellation theory.

Keywords
Kazhdan's property (T), outer automorphism, small cancellation, hyperbolic groups, acylindrically hyperbolic groups
