Let G be a group. The intersection graph G(G) of G is an undirected graph without loops and multiple edges defined as follows: the vertex set is the set of all proper nontrivial subgroups of G; and there is an edge between two distinct…

This article is dedicated to the study of the acylindrical hyperbolicity of automorphism groups of graph products of groups. Our main result is that, if $\Gamma$ is a finite graph which contains at least two vertices and is not a join and…

We construct new families of quasimorphisms on many groups acting on CAT(0) cube complexes. These quasimorphisms have a uniformly bounded defect of 12, and they "see" all elements that act hyperbolically on the cube complex. We deduce that…

By introducing branching conditions on the defining graph, we prove a range of rigidity results for quasiisometric embeddings between right-angled Artin groups. The starting point for these is that, under mild conditions on the codomain,…

In this note, we consider the notion of what we call recognizing spaces for stable subgroups of a given group. When a group $G$ is a mapping class group or right-angled Artin group, it is known that a subgroup is stable exactly when the…

We study several natural decision problems in braid groups and Artin groups. We classify the Artin groups with decidable submonoid membership problem in terms of the non-existence of certain forbidden induced subgraphs of the defining…

We study Artin kernels, i.e. kernels of discrete characters of right-angled Artin groups, and we show that they decompose as graphs of groups in a way that can be explicitly computed from the underlying graph. When the underlying graph is…

We study the outer automorphism group of a right-angled Artin group A_G in the case where the defining graph G is connected and triangle-free. We give an algebraic description of Out(A_G) in terms of maximal join subgraphs in G and prove…

Let $\Gamma$ be a simplicial, finite, connected graph such that $\Gamma$ does not decompose as a nontrivial join. We prove that two notions of strong quasiconvexity and stability are equivalent in the right-angled Artin group $A_\Gamma$…

Given a compact surface $\Sigma$ with boundary and a relation $\Gamma$ on $\pi_0(\partial\Sigma)$, we define the prescribed arc graph $\mathscr A(\Sigma,\Gamma)$ to be the full subgraph of the arc graph $\mathscr A(\Sigma)$ containing only…

For G, H two finite collections of finitely generated subgroups of a right-angled Artin group A, the untwisted McCool group U(A; G, Ht) is the subgroup of untwisted outer automorphisms of A preserving the conjugacy class of each element of…

We investigate criteria ensuring that a one-relator group $G$ contains a right-angled Artin subgroup $A(\Gamma)$, corresponding to a finite graph $\Gamma$. In particular, we prove that if $\Gamma$ is a forest with at least one edge and the…

In this paper, we construct embeddings of right-angled Artin groups into higher dimensional Thompson groups. In particular, we embed every right-angled Artin groups into n-dimensional Thompson group, where n is the number of complementary…

Frucht showed that, for any finite group $G$, there exists a cubic graph such that its automorphism group is isomorphic to $G$. For groups generated by two elements we simplify his construction to a graph with fewer nodes. In the general…

We characterize twisted right-angled Artin groups (T-RAAGs) that are subgroup separable using only their defining mixed graphs: such a group is subgroup separable if and only if the underlying simplicial graph contains neither induced paths…

We characterize $k$--colorability of a simplicial graph via the intrinsic algebraic structure of the associated right-angled Artin group. As a consequence, we show that a certain problem about the existence of homomorphisms from…

We prove that a parabolic subgroup $P$ contained in another parabolic subgroup $P'$ of an Artin group $A$ is a parabolic subgroup of $P'$. This answers a question of Godelle which is not obvious despite appearances. In order to achieve our…
