Abstract

If AΓA_\Gamma (WΓW_\Gamma) is the Artin (Coxeter) group with defining graph Γ\Gamma we denote by Sim(Γ)Sim(\Gamma) the number of vertices of the largest clique in Γ\Gamma. We show that asdimAΓSim(Γ)asdimA_\Gamma \leq Sim(\Gamma), if Sim(Γ)=2Sim(\Gamma)=2. We conjecture that the inequality holds for every Artin group. We prove that if for all free of infinity Artin (Coxeter) groups the conjecture holds, then it holds for all Artin (Coxeter) groups. As a corollary, we show that asdimWΓSim(Γ)asdimW_\Gamma \leq Sim(\Gamma) for all Coxeter groups, which is the best known upper bound for the asymptotic dimension of Coxeter Groups. As a further corollary, we show that the asymptotic dimension of any Artin group of large type with Sim(Γ)=3Sim(\Gamma)=3 is exactly two.
