Quasi-convexity of hyperbolically embedded subgroups

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

We show that any infinite order element gg of a virtually cyclic hyperbolically embedded subgroup of a group GG is Morse, that is to say any quasi-geodesic connecting points in the cyclic group CC generated by gg stays close to CC. This answers a question of Dahmani-Guirardel-Osin. What is more, we show that hyperbolically embedded subgroups are quasi-convex. Finally, we give a definition of what it means for a collection of subspaces of a metric space to be hyperbolically embedded and we show that axes of pseudo-Anosovs are hyperbolically embedded in Teichmüller space endowed with the Weil-Petersson metric.
