Second mod $2$ homology of Artin groups

Algebraic Topology 2018-03-16 v1 Group Theory

Abstract

In this paper, we compute the second mod 22 homology of an arbitrary Artin group, without assuming the K(π,1)K(\pi,1) conjecture. The key ingredients are (A) Hopf's formula for the second integral homology of a group and (B) Howlett's result on the second integral homology of Coxeter groups.
