abstract: 'A finitely generated group is lacunary hyperbolic if one of its asymptotic cones is an $\mathbb{R}$-tree. In this article we give a necessary and sufficient condition on lacunary hyperbolic groups in order to be stable under free product by giving a dynamical characterization of lacunary hyperbolic groups. Also we studied limits of elementary subgroups as subgroups of lacunary hperbolic groups and characterized them. Given any countable collection of increasing union of elementary groups we show that there exists a lacunary hyperbolic group whose set of all maximal subgroups is the given collection. As a consequence we construct a finitely generated divisible group. First such example was constructed by V. Guba in [@Gu86]. In section \[ripssection\] we show that given any finitely generated group $Q$ and a non elementary hyperbolic group $H$, there exists a short exact sequence $1\rightarrow N\rightarrow G\rightarrow Q\rightarrow 1$, where $G$ is a lacunary hyperbolic group and $N$ is a non elementary quotient of $H$. Our method allows to recover [@AS14 Theorem 3]. In section \[maximalvonneumann\], we extend the class of groups $\mathcal{R}ip_{\mathcal{T}}(Q)$ considered in [@CDK19] and hence give more new examples of property $(T)$ von Neumann algebras which have maximal von Neumann subalgebras without
