We give a quadratic-time explicit and computable algorithm to solve the word problem for Artin groups that do not contain any relations of length 3. Furthermore, we prove that, given two geodesic words representing the same element, one can…

Lower bounds for the dimension of a triangulated category are provided. These bounds are applied to stable derived categories of Artin algebras and of commutative complete intersection local rings. As a consequence, one obtains bounds for…

Given a pair of abelian varieties defined over a number field k and isogenous over a finite Galois extension L/k, we define a rational Artin representation of the group Gal(L/k) that shows a global relation between the L-functions of each…

We consider two families of spaces, $X$ : the closed orientable Riemann surfaces of genus $g>0$ and the classifying spaces of right-angled Artin groups. In both cases we compare the depth of the fundamental group with the depth of an…

We prove that triangle Artin groups of the type $A_{2,3,2n}$ are residually finite for all $n\geq4$. This requires splitting these triangle Artin groups as graphs of groups and then proving that each of these graphs of groups has finite…

We prove that the rank gradient vanishes for mapping class groups of genus bigger than 1, $Aut(F_n)$, for all $n$, $Out(F_n)$ for $n \geq 3$, and any Artin group whose underlying graph is connected. These groups have fixed price 1. We…

We give very flexible, concrete constructions of discrete and faithful epresentations of right-angled Artin groups into higher-rank Lie groups. Using the geometry of the associated symmetric spaces and the combinatorics of the groups, we…

In this paper, we sharpen a theorem of Artin to show that for a finite group, the dimension of the subspace of class functions spanned by the rational valued characters equals the number of conjugacy classes of cyclic subgroups.

In the first part of this paper we prove that the mapping class subgroups generated by the $D$-th powers of Dehn twists (with $D\geq 2$) along a sparse collection of simple closed curves on an orientable surface are right angled Artin…

For diophantine equations of the form ax^2+bxy+cy^2+g=0 over Z whose coefficients satisfy some assumptions, we show that a condition with respect to Artin reciprocity map, which we call the Artin condition, is the only obstruction to the…

We introduce a new model of random Artin groups. The two variables we consider are the rank of the Artin groups and the set of permitted coefficients of their defining graphs. The heart of our model is to control the speed at which we make…

For $n\in \mathbb{N}$, a group is called $n$-coherent if every subgroup of type $\mathsf{F}_n$ is of type $\mathsf{F}_{n+1}$. For $n\ge 1$, we observe that graphs of groups with $n$-coherent vertex groups and virtually poly-cyclic edge…

Let $S$ be a finite subset of ${\mathbb R}^2 \setminus (0,0)$. Generally, one would expect the pattern of lines $Ax + By = 1$, where $(A, B) \in S$ to contain polygons of all shapes and sizes. We show, however, that when $S$ is a…

Artin groups of finite type are not as well understood as braid groups. This is due to the additional geometric properties of braid groups coming from their close connection to mapping class groups. For each Artin group of finite type, we…

We prove that if two transvection-free right-angled Artin groups are measure equivalent, then they have isomorphic extension graphs. As a consequence, two right-angled Artin groups with finite outer automorphism groups are measure…

Let $S_g$ be the closed oriented surface of genus g and let $\text{Mod}^{\pm}(S_g)$ be the extended mapping class group of $S_g$. When the genus is at least 5, we prove that $\text{Mod}^{\pm}(S_g)$ can be generated by two torsion elements.…

Let $S_g$ be the closed oriented surface of genus g and let $\text{Mod}(S_g)$ be the mapping class group. When the genus is at least 3, $\text{Mod}(S_g)$ can be generated by torsion elements. We prove the follow results. For $g \geq 4$,…

In general terms, we establish algebraic relations that numbers must satisfy in order for their images to match after one or several transformations. Some groups associated with these relationships are identified, such as the Klein group.…

We consider the complexity of Green's relations when the semigroup is given by transformations on a finite set. Green's relations can be defined by reachability in the (right/left/two-sided) Cayley graph. The equivalence classes then…

We demonstrate that the submonoid membership problem and the rational subset membership problem are equivalent in Artin groups. Both these problem are undecidable in a given Artin group if and only if the group embeds the right-angled Artin…
