The Dehn-filling conjecture for mapping class groups
The Dehn-filling conjecture for mapping class groups
Let be any surface of finite type, and let . For a subset of a group, write for its normal closure. Dehn-filling conjecture. There exists such that
is hierarchically hyperbolic. This conjecture seeks a general theory of Dehn-filling-like quotients of hierarchically hyperbolic groups, extending known constructions for mapping class groups and potentially producing hyperbolic quotients and applications to algebraic properties such as residual finiteness and the congruence subgroup property.
