Commensurability of groups quasi-isometric to RAAG's
Abstract
Let be a right-angled Artin group with defining graph and let be a finitely generated group quasi-isometric to . We show if satisfies (1) its outer automorphism group is finite; (2) does not have induced 4-cycle; (3) is star-rigid; then is commensurable to . We show condition (2) is sharp in the sense that if contains an induced 4-cycle, then there exists an quasi-isometric to but not commensurable to . Moreover, one can drop condition (1) if is a uniform lattice acting on the universal cover of the Salvetti complex of . As a consequence, we obtain a conjugation theorem for such uniform lattices. The ingredients of the proof include a blow-up building construction in \cite{cubulation} and a Haglund-Wise style combination theorem for certain class of special cube complexes. However, in most of our cases, relative hyperbolicity is absent, so we need new ingredients for the combination theorem.
