Abstract

We show that if G is a non-elementary torsion-free word hyperbolic group then there exists another word hyperbolic group G*, such that G is a subgroup of G* but G is not quasiconvex in G*. We also prove that any non-elementary subgroup of a torsion-free word hyperbolic group G contains a free group of rank 2 which is malnormal and quasiconvex in G.
