Title: Glueing groups using dynamics

Abstract:

 What do you have in mind when you hear the term "the Gromov boundary" of a hyperbolic group? 
Some would say "it's a compactification of the group"; some would argue it is a space on which the group acts in a certain way. In this work, we study the tension between these two perspectives. 

Is there more than one way to "glue" a given G-space to the group? (Yes!)
We begin the classification of the various ways it can be done.

Joint with A. Hrušková, M. Kalantar and T. Zimhoni
