Hyperbolic hyperbolic-by-cyclic groups are cubulable

François Dahmani, Suraj Krishna Meda Satish and Jean Pierre Mutanguha

Geometry & Topology 29 (2025) 259–268
DOI: 10.2140/gt.2025.29.259
Abstract

We show that the mapping torus of a hyperbolic group by a hyperbolic automorphism is cubulable. Along the way, we give an alternate proof of Hagen and Wise’s theorem that hyperbolic free-by-cyclic groups are cubulable, and extend to the case with torsion Brinkmann’s thesis that a torsion-free hyperbolic-by-cyclic group is hyperbolic if and only if it does not contain 2-subgroups.
