Cube Complexes and Quasi-Convex Hierarchies

We present recent results of Dani Wise which tie together many of the themes of this term's jGGT meetings: hyperbolic and relatively hyperbolic groups, (in particular limit groups), graphs of spaces, 3-manifolds and right-angled Artin groups.
Following this, we make an attempt at explaining some of the methods, beginning with special non-positively curved cube complexes.

Classical and Cubical Small Cancellation Theory

Building on the previous talk, we continue the exploration of techniques required to understand Wise's results. We present an overview of classical small cancellation theory running in parallel with the newer one for cubical complexes.
