We exhibit a closed aspherical 5-manifold of nonpositive curvature that fibers over a circle whose fundamental group is hyperbolic relative to abelian subgroups such that the fiber is a closed aspherical 4-manifold whose fundamental group is not hyperbolic relative to abelian subgroups.

We define a notion of semi-conjugacy between orientation-preserving actions of a group on the circle, which for fixed point free actions coincides with a classical definition of Ghys. We then show that two circle actions are semi-conjugate if and only if they have the same bounded Euler class. This settles some existing confusion present in the literature.
We answer the question of when the underlying space of an orbifold is a manifold with boundary in several categories.
We study the convergence of volume-normalized Betti numbers in Benjamini-Schramm convergent sequences of non-positively curved manifolds with finite volume. In particular, we show that if $X$ is an irreducible symmetric space of noncompact type, $X eq mathbb H^3$, and $(M_n)$ is any Benjamini-Schramm convergent sequence of finite volume $X$-manifolds, then the normalized Betti numbers $b_k(M_n)/vol(M_n)$ converge for all $k$. As a corollary, if $X$ has higher rank and $(M_n)$ is any sequence of distinct, finite volume $X$-manifolds, the normalized Betti numbers of $M_n$ converge to the $L^2$ Betti numbers of $X$. This extends our earlier work with Nikolov, Raimbault and Samet, where we proved the same convergence result for uniformly thick sequences of compact $X$-manifolds.
In this article, we consider a closed rank one $C^infty$ Riemannian manifold $M$ of nonpositive curvature and its universal cover $X$. Let $b_t(x)$ be the Riemannian volume of the ball of radius $t>0$ around $xin X$, and $h$ the topological entropy of the geodesic flow. We obtain the following Margulis-type asymptotic estimates [lim_{tto infty}b_t(x)/frac{e^{ht}}{h}=c(x)] for some continuous function $c: Xto mathbb{R}$. We prove that the Margulis function $c(x)$ is in fact $C^1$. If $M$ is a surface of nonpositive curvature without flat strips, we show that $c(x)$ is constant if and only if $M$ has constant negative curvature.
This is an expository proof that, if $M$ is a compact $n$-manifold with no boundary, then the set of holonomies of strictly-convex real-projective structures on $M$ is a subset of $operatorname{Hom}(pi_1M,operatorname{PGL}(n+1,mathbb RR))$ that is both open and closed.
