Bestvina introduced a $mathcal{Z}$-structure for a group $G$ to generalize the boundary of a CAT(0) or hyperbolic group. A refinement of this notion, introduced by Farrell and Lafont, includes a $G$-equivariance requirement, and is known as an $mathcal{E}mathcal{Z}$-structure. In this paper, we show that fundamental groups of graphs of nonpositively curved Riemannian $n$-manifolds admit $mathcal{Z}$-structures and graphs of negatively curved or flat $n$-manifolds admit $mathcal{E}mathcal{Z}$-structures. This generalizes a recent result of the first two authors with Tirel, which put $mathcal{E}mathcal{Z}$-structures on Baumslag-Solitar groups and $mathcal{Z}$-structures on generalized Baumslag-Solitar groups.
We generalize Bestvinas notion of a $mathcal{Z}$-boundary for a group to that of a coarse $mathcal{Z}$-boundary. We show that established theorems about $mathcal{Z}$-boundaries carry over nicely to the more general theory, and that some wished-for pr
For a small category $mathcal{D}$ we define fibrations of simplicial presheaves on the category $mathcal{D}timesDelta$, which we call localized $mathcal{D}$-left fibration. We show these fibrations can be seen as fibrant objects in a model structure,
We report the spectral features of a phase-shifted parity and time ($mathcal{PT}$)-symmetric fiber Bragg grating (PPTFBG) and demonstrate its functionality as a demultiplexer in the unbroken $mathcal{PT}$-symmetric regime. The length of the proposed
We study relations between maps between relatively hyperbolic groups/spaces and quasisymmetric embeddings between their boundaries. More specifically, we establish a correspondence between (not necessarily coarsely surjective) quasi-isometric embeddi
We define a notion of tracial $mathcal{Z}$-absorption for simple not necessarily unital C*-algebras. This extends the notion defined by Hirshberg and Orovitz for unital (simple) C*-algebras. We provide examples which show that tracially $mathcal{Z}$-
