We prove that the topological full group $[[X]]$ of a two-sided full shift $X = \Sigma^{\mathbb{Z}}$ contains every right-angled Artin group (also called a graph group). More generally, we show that the family of subgroups with "linear…
We prove by explicit construction that graph braid groups and most surface groups can be embedded in a natural way in right-angled Artin groups, and we point out some consequences of these embedding results. We also show that every…
In this article we study the right-angled Artin subgroups of a given right-angled Artin group. Starting with a graph $\gam$, we produce a new graph through a purely combinatorial procedure, and call it the extension graph $\gam^e$ of…
We explicitly construct an embedding of a right-angled Artin group into a classical pure braid group. Using this we obtain a number of corollaries describing embeddings of arbitrary Artin groups into right-angled Artin groups and linearly…
We give a short proof of the following theorem of Sang-hyun Kim: if $A(\Gamma)$ is a right-angled Artin group with defining graph $\Gamma$, then $A(\Gamma)$ contains a hyperbolic surface subgroup if $\Gamma$ contains an induced subgraph…
In this second paper we solve the twisted conjugacy problem for even dihedral Artin groups, that is, groups with presentation $G(m) = \langle a,b \mid {}_{m}(a,b) = {}_{m}(b,a) \rangle$, where $m \geq 2$ is even, and $_{m}(a,b)$ is the word…
The group $Ham(M,\omega)$ of all Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of a symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$ plays a central role in symplectic geometry. This group is endowed with the Hofer metric. In this paper we study two aspects of the geometry…
We give an explicit formula for the cohomology of a right angled Artin group with group ring coefficients in terms of the cohomology of its defining flag complex.
We prove using a novel random matrix model that all right-angled Artin groups have a sequence of finite dimensional unitary representations that strongly converge to the regular representation. We deduce that this result applies also to:…
We are motivated by the question that for which class of right-angled Artin groups (RAAG's), the quasi-isometry classification coincides with commensurability classification. This is previously known for RAAG's with finite outer…
Let ${\cal O}$ be a quantizable coadjoint orbit of a semisimple Lie group $G$. Under certain hypotheses we prove that $#(\pi_1(\text{Ham}({\cal O})))\geq #(Z(G))$, where $\text{Ham}({\cal O})$ is the group of Hamiltonian symplectomorphisms…
We prove that all Lagrangian spheres in S^2 x S^2 are Hamiltonian isotopic. The proof uses various properties of holomorphic curves in symplectic manifolds with cylindrical ends which were recently developed in connection with 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…
We prove that most Artin groups of large and hyperbolic type are Hopfian, meaning that every self-epimorphism is an isomorphism. The class covered by our result is generic, in the sense of Goldsborough-Vaskou. Moreover, assuming the…
We prove that the only exact Lagrangian submanifolds in an ALE space are spheres. ALE spaces are the simply connected hyperkahler manifolds which at infinity look like C^2/G for any finite subgroup G of SL(2,C). They can be realized as the…
We prove a new version of the classical peak-reduction theorem for automorphisms of free groups in the setting of right-angled Artin groups. We use this peak-reduction theorem to prove two important corollaries about the action of the…
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…
We show that every two-term tilting complex over an Artin algebra has a tilting module over a certain factor algebra as a homology group. Also, we determine the endomorphism algebra of such a homology group, which is given as a certain…
We describe the (co)homology of a certain family of normal subgroups of right-angled Artin groups that contain the commutator subgroup, as modules over the quotient group. We do so in terms of (skew) commutative algebra of squarefree…
In this article, we prove that embeddings of right-angled Artin group $A_1$ on the complement of a linear forest into another right-angled Artin group $A_2$ can be reduced to full embeddings of the defining graph of $A_1$ into the extension…
