DESCRIPTION:Thurston's geometrization program revolutionized the study of 
 3-manifolds\, and hyperbolic geometry became the primary tool in the study
  of these manifolds.  Soon after Gromov extracted the key features of hype
 rbolic geometry to study more general spaces---most importantly\, finitely
  generated groups---and he has asked whether the analogue of the "hyperbol
 ic part" of Thurston's geometrization holds for groups.  In this talk\, I 
 will describe a particular instance of Gromov's "hyperbolization question"
 \, motivated by Thurston's approach\, and explain some partial results in 
 this direction.  This is joint work with Bestvina\, Bromberg\, and Kent.\n
