Abstract

Let AA1,A2,I2mA\neq A_1, A_2, I_{2m} be an irreducible Artin--Tits group of spherical type. We show that periodic elements of AA and the elements preserving some parabolic subgroup of AA act elliptically on the additional length graph CAL(A)\mathcal{C}_{AL}(A), an hyperbolic, infinite diameter graph associated to AA constructed by Calvez and Wiest to show that A/Z(A)A/Z(A) is acylindrically hyperbolic. We use these results to find an element gAg\in A such that P,gPg\langle P,g \rangle\cong P* \langle g \rangle for every proper standard parabolic subgroup PP of AA. The length of gg is uniformly bounded with respect to the Garside generators, independently of AA. This allows us to show that, in contrast with the Artin generators case, the sequence {ω(An,S)}nN\{\omega(A_n,\mathcal{S})\}_{n\in \mathbb{N}} of exponential growth rates of braid groups with respect to the Garside generating set, goes to infinity.
