On a generalization of Cannon’s conjecture for cubulated hyperbolic groups

Abstract

Abstract We show that cubulated hyperbolic groups with spherical boundary of dimension 3 or at least 5 are virtually fundamental groups of closed, orientable, aspherical manifolds, provided that there are sufficiently many quasi-convex, codimension-1 subgroups whose limit sets are locally flat subspheres. The proof is based on ideas used by Markovic in his work on Cannon’s conjecture for cubulated hyperbolic groups with 2-sphere boundary.
