Property $R_\infty$ for some spherical and affine Artin-Tits groups

Group Theory 2025-04-14 v2 Geometric Topology

Abstract

Let n2n\ge2. In this note we give a short uniform proof of property RR_\infty for the Artin-Tits groups of spherical types AnA_n, BnB_n, D4D_4, I2(m)I_2(m) (m3m\ge3), their pure subgroups, and for the Artin-Tits groups of affine types A~n1\widetilde A_{n-1} and C~n\widetilde C_n. In particular, we provide an alternative proof of a recent result of Dekimpe, Gon\c{c}alves and Ocampo, who established property RR_{\infty} for pure Artin braid groups.
