Residual finiteness, QCERF and fillings of hyperbolic groups

Ian Agol, Daniel Groves and Jason Fox Manning

Geometry & Topology 13 (2009) 1043–1073

DOI: 10.2140/gt.2009.13.1043

Abstract

We prove that if every hyperbolic group is residually finite, then every quasi-convex subgroup of every hyperbolic group is separable. The main tool is relatively hyperbolic Dehn filling.

Keywords

hyperbolic group, quasiconvex subgroup, residually finite, LERF
