On the $\Sigma^1$ and $\Sigma^2$-invariants of Artin groups
Abstract
We prove the -conjecture for two families of Artin groups: Artin groups such that there exists a prime number dividing for every edge with even label and balanced Artin groups. The family of balanced Artin groups extends two previously studied families: the one considered by Kochloukova in arXiv:2009.14269, and the family of coherent Artin groups. We state a conjecture on the -invariant for Artin groups satisfying the -conjecture. The conjecture is proven to be true for two significant families: -dimensional and coherent Artin groups. In the -dimensional case we are able to compute for all and to derive finiteness properties of the derived subgroup.
