This talk will be an invitation to the study of cubulated groups and their quotients via the tools of cubical small cancellation theory. Non-positively curved cube complexes are a class of cell-complexes whose geometry and combinatorial structure is closely related to the structure of the groups that act nicely on their universal covers. I will tell you a bit about what we know and don’t know about these groups and spaces, and about the tools we have to study their quotients. I will explain some applications of the study of these quotients to producing a large variety of examples of large-dimensional hyperbolic (and non-hyperbolic) groups.
