Abstract

We state and prove a combination theorem for relatively hyperbolic groups seen as geometrically finite convergence groups. For that, we explain how to contruct a boundary for a group that is an acylindrical amalgamation of relatively hyperbolic groups over a fully quasi-convex subgroup. We apply our result to Sela’s theory on limit groups and prove their relative hyperbolicity. We also get a proof of the Howson property for limit groups.
