We introduce an analogue of the Mertens conjecture for elliptic curves over finite fields. Using a result of Waterhouse, we classify the isogeny classes of elliptic curves for which this conjecture holds in terms the size of the finite…

Let $\mathcal X$ be a regular variety, flat and proper over a complete regular curve over a finite field, such that the generic fiber $X$ is smooth and geometrically connected. We prove that the Brauer group of $\mathcal X$ is finite if and…

An even Artin group is a group which has a presentation with relations of the form $(st)^n=(ts)^n$ with $n\ge 1$. With a group $G$ we associate a Lie $\mathbb Z$-algebra $\mathcal{TG}r(G)$. This is the usual Lie algebra defined from 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…

A generalization of the topological fundamental group is developed in order to exhibit a topologically complete braid group containing Artin's braid group on infinitely many strands with respect to the following notion of convergence: A…

Let $n\ge2$. In this note we give a short uniform proof of property $R_\infty$ for the Artin-Tits groups of spherical types $A_n$, $B_n$, $D_4$, $I_2(m)$ ($m\ge3$), their pure subgroups, and for the Artin-Tits groups of affine types…

We define the braid groups of a two-dimensional orbifold and introduce conventions for drawing braid pictures. We use these to realize the Artin groups associated to the spherical Coxeter diagrams A_n, B_n=C_n and D_n and the affine…

Let F be a finite group with a Sylow 2-subgroup S that is normal and abelian. Using hyperelementary induction and cartesian squares, we prove that Cappell's unitary nilpotent groups UNil_*(Z[F];Z[F],Z[F]) have an induced isomorphism to the…

We determine a classification of the endomorphisms of the Artin groups of spherical type $B_n$ for $n\ge 5$, and of their quotients by the center.

We generalize the proof of the Farrell-Jones conjecture for CAT(0)-groups to a larger class of groups in particular also containing all hyperbolic groups. This way we give a unified proof for both classes of groups.

We show that the Artin representation on concordance classes of string links induces a well-defined epimorphism modulo order n twisted Whitney tower concordance, and that the kernel of this map is generated by band sums of iterated…

Recent results on the linearity of braid groups are extended in two ways. We generalize the Lawrence Krammer representation as well as Krammer's faithfulness proof for this linear representation to Artin groups of finite type.

We prove Cherlin's conjecture, concerning binary primitive permutation groups, for those groups with socle isomorphic to a sporadic simple group.

We provide a complete description of the presentations of the interval groups related to quasi-Coxeter elements in finite Coxeter groups. In the simply laced cases, we show that each interval group is the quotient of the Artin group…

Perepechko and Zaidenberg conjectured that the neutral component of the automorphism group of a rigid affine variety is a torus. We prove this conjecture for toric varieties and varieties with a torus action of complexity one. We also…

In this paper we consider the class of 2-dimensional Artin groups with connected, large type, triangle-free defining graphs (type CLTTF). We classify these groups up to isomorphism, and describe a generating set for the automorphism group…

This paper is a sequel of [A.M. Cohen, L. Paris, {\it On a theorem of Artin}, J. Group Theory {\bf 6} (2003), 421--441]. Let $A$ be an Artin group, let $W$ be its associated Coxeter group, and let $CA$ be its associated coloured Artin…

We prove that every finite group is the automorphism group of a finite abstract polytope isomorphic to a face-to-face tessellation of a sphere by topological copies of convex polytopes. We also show that this abstract polytope may be…

We reformulate the statement of the Feit-Thompson theorem in terms of diagrams in the category of finite groups, namely iterations of the Quillen lifting property with respect to particular morphisms.

We describe the main questions connected to torsion subgroups in the unit group of integral group rings of finite groups and algorithmic methods to attack these questions. We then prove the Zassenhaus Conjecture for Amitsur groups and prove…
