Abstract
The relatively hyperbolic groups, introduced by Gromov, generalize the class of fundamental groups of complete finite volume hyperbolic manifolds. When considering a relatively hyperbolic group as a geometric object, the quasiconvex subgroups are the natural subgroups to consider. Recently, special attention has been given to the study of this class of subgroups. In this talk, some of the recent results for quasiconvex subgroups will be discussed with emphasis on my thesis work on combination theorems for this class of subgroups.
