We prove that any Artin group of large type is shortlex automatic with respect to its standard generating set, and that the set of all geodesic words over the same generating set satisfies the Falsification by Fellow-Traveller Property…

We give sufficient conditions for left- and bi-orderability of fundamental groups of Ore categories in terms of indirect factors, including Thompson groups and many of their generalizations. Besides recovering known results, we prove that…

By using a notion of a geometric Dehn twist in $\sharp_k(S^2 \times S^1)$, we prove that when projections of two $\mathbb{Z}$-splittings to the free factor complex are far enough from each other in the free factor complex, Dehn twist…

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…

The Andrews-Curtis conjecture states that every balanced presentation of the trivial group can be reduced to the standard one by a sequence of the elementary Nielsen transformations and conjugations. In this paper we describe all balanced…

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.

String diagrams are a powerful tool for reasoning about composite structures in symmetric monoidal categories. By representing string diagrams as graphs, equational reasoning can be done automatically by double-pushout rewriting. !-graphs…

Every tame, prime and alternating knot is equivalent to a tame, prime and alternating knot in regular position, with a common projection. In this work, we show that the Dehn presentation of the knot group of a tame, prime, alternating knot,…

The goal of this mostly expository paper is to present several candidates for hyperbolic structures on irreducible Artin-Tits groups of spherical type and to elucidate some relations between them. Most constructions are algebraic analogues…

We provide a new condition for an absolutely almost simple algebraic group to have good reduction with respect to a discrete valuation of the base field which is formulated in terms of the existence of maximal tori with special properties.…

In [2], while studying a relevant class of polyominoes that tile the plane by translation, i.e., double square polyominoes, the authors found that their boundary words, encoded by the Freeman chain coding on a four letters alphabet, have…

We discuss various types of Tits Alternative for subgroups of graph products of groups, and prove that, under some natural conditions, a graph product of groups satisfies a given form of Tits Alternative if and only if each vertex group…

We prove a conjecture due to Makanin: if a and b are elements of the Artin braid group B_n such that a^k=b^k for some nonzero integer k, then a and b are conjugate. The proof involves the Nielsen-Thurston classification of braids.

We define and study extensions of Artin's representation and braid monodromy representation to the case of topological and algebraical generalisations of braid groups. In particular we provide faithful representations of braid groups of…

For a reductive group $G$ over a discretely valued Henselian field $k$, using valuations of root datum and concave functions, the Bruhat--Tits theory defines an important class of open bounded subgroups of $G(k)$ which are essential objects…

Let $G$ be a group, and let $S$ be a finite subset of $G$ that generates $G$ as a monoid. The co-word problem is the collection of words in the free monoid $S^{\ast}$ that represent non-trivial elements of $G$. A current conjecture, based…

Artin-Tits groups act on a certain delta-hyperbolic complex, called the "additional length complex". For an element of the group, acting loxodromically on this complex is a property analogous to the property of being pseudo-Anosov for…

For every group genetic code with finite number of generating and at most with one defining relation we introduce the braid group of this genetic code. This construction includes the braid group of Euclidean plane, the braid groups of…

We show that the simple elements of the dual Garside structure of an Artin group of type $D_n$ are Mikado braids, giving a positive answer to a conjecture of Digne and the second author. To this end, we use an embedding of the Artin group…

Starting from context-free inverse graphs, we introduce a new class of groups and study their structural properties. We establish closure properties, show that their co-word problems are context-free, analyze torsion elements, and realize…
