| contents | We introduce two families of two-generator one-relator groups called primitive extension groups and show that a one-relator group is hyperbolic if its primitive extension subgroups are hyperbolic. This reduces the problem of characterising hyperbolic one-relator groups to characterising hyperbolic primitive extension groups. These new groups moreover admit explicit decompositions as graphs of free groups with adjoined roots. In order to obtain this result, we characterise $2$-free one-relator groups with exceptional intersection in terms of Christoffel words, show that hyperbolic one-relator groups have quasi-convex Magnus subgroups and build upon the one-relator tower machinery developed in the authors previous article. |
