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

Dual presentations of Coxeter groups have recently led to breakthroughs in our understanding of affine Artin groups. In particular, they led to the proof of the $K(\pi, 1)$ conjecture and to the solution of the word problem. Will the "dual…

We give a brief introduction to the geometric and combinatorial group theory of Artin groups. In particular we introduce the $K(\pi,1)$ conjecture for Artin groups and survey known results as of January 2024. These notes were written as…

In this summary paper, we present the key ideas behind the recent proof of the $K(\pi, 1)$ conjecture for affine Artin groups, which states that complements of locally finite affine hyperplane arrangements with real equations and stable…

We show that for a large class of Artin groups with Dynkin diagrams being a tree, the $K(\pi,1)$-conjecture holds. We also establish the $K(\pi,1)$-conjecture for another class of Artin groups whose Dynkin diagrams contain a cycle, which…

We reduce the $K(\pi,1)$-conjecture for all Artin groups to properties of Artin groups whose Coxeter diagrams are trees, from which we deduce new classes of Artin groups satisfying the $K(\pi,1)$-conjecture. This relies on constructing…

We give a brief introduction to the relationship between Bridgeland stability conditions and the $K(\pi,1)$ conjecture for Artin groups. These notes have been written as pre-reading for the MFO mini-workshop 2405a: Artin groups meet…

We introduce a method of finding large non-positively curved subcomplexes in certain spherical Deligne complexes, which is effective for studying fillings of certain 6-cycles in spherical Deligne complexes. As applications, we show the…

We prove the $K(\pi,1)$ conjecture for Artin groups of dimension $3$. As an ingredient, we introduce a new form of combinatorial non-positive curvature.

We prove the $K(\pi,1)$ conjecture for affine Artin groups: the complexified complement of an affine reflection arrangement is a classifying space. This is a long-standing problem, due to Arnol'd, Pham, and Thom. Our proof is based on…

Consider an affine Coxeter group $W$ acting by isometries on the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$, and the arrangement of its reflection hyperplanes. The fundamental group of the complement $Y_W$ of the complexification of this arrangement in…

We reduce the $K(\pi,1)$-conjecture for all Artin groups with tree Coxeter diagrams to properties of Artin groups with tripod-shaped Coxeter diagrams. Combining this reduction theorem and properties of braid groups in previous works of…

We consider $\Sigma$-invariants of Artin groups that satisfy the $K(\pi,1)$-conjecture. These invariants determine the cohomological finiteness conditions of subgroups that contain the derived subgroup. We extend a known result for even…

A recent theorem of Dobrinskaya states that the K(\pi,1)-conjecture holds for an Artin group G if and only if the canonical map from BM to BG is a homotopy equivalence, where M denotes the Artin monoid associated to G. The aim of this paper…

We reduce a strong version of the twist conjecture for Artin groups to Artin groups whose defining graphs have no separating vertices. This produces new examples of Artin groups satisfying the conjecture, and sheds more light on the…

Let $A_\Gamma$ be an Artin group with defining graph $\Gamma$. We introduce the notion of $A_\Gamma$ being extra-large relative to a family of arbitrary parabolic subgroups. This generalizes a related notion of $A_\Gamma$ being extra-large…

We prove the $\Sigma^1$-conjecture for two families of Artin groups: Artin groups such that there exists a prime number $p$ dividing $\frac{l(e)}{2}$ for every edge $e$ with even label $>2$ and balanced Artin groups. The family of balanced…
