  1. Behrstock, Hagen and Sisto classified 3-manifold groups admitting a hierarchically hyperbolic space structure. However, these structures were not always equivariant with respect to the group. In this paper, we classify 3-manifold groups admitting equivariant hierarchically hyperbolic structures. The key component of our proof is that the admissible groups introduced by Croke and Kleiner always admit equivariant hierarchically hyperbolic structures. For non-geometric graph manifolds, this is contrary to a conjecture of Behrstock, Hagen and Sisto and also contrasts with results about CAT(0) cubical structures on these groups. Perhaps surprisingly, our arguments involve the construction of suitable quasimorphisms on the Seifert pieces, in order to construct actions on quasi-lines.

  2. We show that quasi-isometries of (well-behaved) hierarchically hyperbolic groups descend to quasi-isometries of their maximal hyperbolic space. This has two applications, one relating to quasi-isometry invariance of acylindrical hyperbolicity, and the other a linear progress result for Markov chains. The appendix, by Jacob Russell, contains a partial converse under the (necessary) condition that the maximal hyperbolic space is one-ended.

  3. Abstract Given a lattice Veech group in the mapping class group of a closed surface , this paper investigates the geometry of , the associated ‐extension group. We prove that is the fundamental group of a bundle with a singular Euclidean‐by‐hyperbolic geometry. Our main result is that collapsing “obvious” product regions of the universal cover produces an action of on a hyperbolic space, retaining most of the geometry of . This action is a key ingredient in the sequel where we show that is hierarchically hyperbolic and quasi‐isometrically rigid.
