Relative hyperbolicity and bounded cohomology
by
Igor Mineyev
UIUC
Coauthors: A. Yaman

1. Several characterizations of relatively hyperbolic groups will be given in terms of relative bounded cohomology.
2. It is certainly known to the participants of this conference that proving anything about relatively hyperbolic groups requires a lot of time and space. I will attempt presenting a language that streamlines statements about relatively hyperbolic groups. We will discuss angles, snake metrics, fine triangles, tuples, and ideal complexes.
