Geometric group theory and hyperbolic geometry: recent contributions from Indian mathematicians. (English) Zbl 1479.53005

Summary: Geometric group theory emerged as a distinct branch of mathematics through the seminal work of M. Gromov [Math. Sci. Res. Inst. Publ. 8, 75–263 (1987; Zbl 0634.20015)] in 1987 and since then it has been a very active area of research intermingling with many other fields of mathematics. This paper is a survey of contributions made in the past decade in Geometric group theory by the Indian mathematicians.
