From Riches to RAAGs: Special Cube Complexes and the Virtual Haken Theorem (Part 2)
I will outline Bergeron-Wise’s proof that the Virtual Haken Conjecture follows from Wise’s Conjecture on virtual specialness of non-positively curved cube complexes. If time permits, I will sketch some highlights from the proof of Wise’s Conjecture due to Agol and based on the Weak Separation Theorem of Agol-Groves-Manning.
