86,94 €The author introduces a notion of hyperbolic groupoids, generalizing the notion of a Gromov hyperbolic group. Examples of hyperbolic groupoids include actions of Gromov hyperbolic groups on their boundaries, pseudogroups generated by expanding self-coverings, natural pseudogroups acting on leaves of stable (or unstable) foliation of an Anosov diffeomorphism, etc.
The author describes a duality theory for hyperbolic groupoids. He shows that for every hyperbolic groupoid ?? there is a naturally defined dual groupoid ??? acting on the Gromov boundary of a Cayley graph of ??. The groupoid ??? is also hyperbolic and such that (???)? is equivalent to ??.
Several classes of examples of hyperbolic groupoids and their applications are discussed.
