We prove that the conjugacy problem in right-angled Artin groups (RAAGs), as well as in a large and natural class of subgroups of RAAGs, can be solved in linear-time. This class of subgroups contains, for instance, all graph braid groups…

We characterize twisted right-angled Artin groups whose finitely generated subgroups are also twisted right-angled Artin groups. Additionally, we give a classification of coherence within this class of groups in terms of the defining graph.…

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 describe sufficient conditions which guarantee that a finite set of mapping classes generate a right-angled Artin group quasi-isometrically embedded in the mapping class group. Moreover, under these conditions, the orbit map to…

This paper focuses on tools for constructing 4-manifolds that have fundamental group $G$ isomorphic to a right-angled Artin group and that are also minimal, in the sense that they minimize $b_2(M)$, the dimension of $H_2(M;\mathbb{Q})$. For…

We compute the relative divergence and the subgroup distortion of Bestvina-Brady subgroups. We also show that for each integer $n\geq 3$, there is a free subgroup of rank $n$ of some right-angled Artin group whose inclusion is not a…

We study the outer automorphism group of a right-angled Artin group $A_\Gamma$ with finite defining graph $\Gamma$. We construct a subnormal series for $Out(A_\Gamma)$ such that each consecutive quotient is either finite, free-abelian,…

Let $G$ and $G'$ be two right-angled Artin groups (RAAG). We show they are quasi-isometric iff they are isomorphic, under the assumption that $Out(G)$ and $Out(G')$ are finite. If only $Out(G)$ is finite, then $G'$ is quasi-isometric $G$…

For a one-ended right-angled Artin group, we give an explicit description of its JSJ tree of cylinders over infinite cyclic subgroups in terms of its defining graph. This is then used to classify certain right-angled Artin groups up to…

For a graph $\Gamma$, let $K(H_{\Gamma},1)$ denote the Eilenberg-Mac Lane space associated to the right-angled Artin (RAA) group $H_{\Gamma}$ defined by $\Gamma$. We use the relationship between the combinatorics of $\Gamma$ and the…

We classify two-dimensional right-angled Coxeter groups that are quasiisometric to a right-angled Artin group defined by a tree, and show that when this is true the right-angled Coxeter group actually contains a visible finite index…

A finitely presented Bestvina-Brady group (BBG) admits a presentation involving only commutators. We show that if a graph admits a certain type of spanning trees, then the associated BBG is a right-angled Artin group (RAAG). As an…

In \cite{Oh22}, the second author defined a complex of groups decomposition of the fundamental group of a finitely generated 2-dimensional special group, called an \emph{intersection complex}, which is a quasi-isometry invariant. In this…

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…
