The $K(\pi,1)$-conjecture implies the center conjecture for Artin groups

Group Theory 2022-01-19 v1

Abstract

In this note, we prove that the K(π,1)K(\pi,1)-conjecture for Artin groups implies the center conjecture for Artin groups. Specifically, every Artin group without a spherical factor that satisfies the K(π,1)K(\pi,1)-conjecture has a trivial center.
