Abstract

We characterize in terms of a combinatorial condition on the graph Γ\Gamma when the group PAut(AΓ)\mathrm{PAut}(A_\Gamma) of pure symmetric automorphisms of the RAAG AΓA_\Gamma and its outer version POut(AΓ)\mathrm{POut}(A_\Gamma) have a descending central Lie algebra which is Koszul. To do that, we prove that our combinatorial condition implies that these groups are iterated extensions of RAAGs; in particular, they are poly-free. On the other hand, we show that PAut(Fn)\mathrm{PAut}(F_n) is not poly-finitely generated free for n4n \geq 4. We also show that groups in a certain class containing PAut(AΓ)\mathrm{PAut}(A_\Gamma) are 1-formal.
