Hierarchically Hyperbolic Groups (HHGs) were introduced by Behrstock—Hagen—Sisto to provide a common framework to study several groups of interest in geometric group theory, and have been an object of great interest in the area ever since. The goal of the talk is to provide an introduction to the theory of HHGs and discuss the advantages of the unified approach that they provide. If time permits, we will conclude with applications to growth and asymptotic cones of groups.
