A combination theorem for strong relative hyperbolicity

Mahan Mj and Lawrence Reeves

Geometry & Topology 12 (2008) 1777–1798
Abstract

We prove a combination theorem for trees of (strongly) relatively hyperbolic spaces and finite graphs of (strongly) relatively hyperbolic groups. This gives a geometric extension of Bestvina and Feighn’s Combination Theorem for hyperbolic groups and answers a question of Swarup. We also prove a converse to the main Combination Theorem.
