Summary: This book offers an alternative proof of the Bestvina-Feighn combination theorem for trees of hyperbolic spaces and describes uniform quasigeodesics in such spaces. As one of the applications of their description of uniform quasigeodesics, the authors prove the existence of Cannon-Thurston maps for inclusion maps of total spaces of subtrees of hyperbolic spaces and of relatively hyperbolic spaces. They also analyze the structure of Cannon-Thurston laminationsPPN: PPN: 190795466XPackage identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-4-NLEBK | BSZ-4-NLEBK-KAUB
