The n-string braid group of a graph X is defined as the fundamental group of the n-point configuration space of the space X. This configuration space is a finite dimensional aspherical space. A. Abrams and R. Ghrist have conjectured that…

In 1896 Heinrich Maschke characterized planar finite groups, that is groups which admit a generating system such that the resulting Cayley graph is planar. In our study we consider the question, which finite semigroups have a planar Cayley…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite graph and let $A(\Gamma)$ be the corresponding right-angled Artin group. From an arbitrary basis $\mathcal B$ of $H^1(A(\Gamma),\mathbb F)$ over an arbitrary field, we construct a natural graph $\Gamma_{\mathcal B}$…

Shephard groups are common extensions of Artin and Coxeter groups. They appear, for example, in algebraic study of manifolds. An infinite family of Shephard groups which are not Artin or Coxeter groups is considered. Using techniques form…

In this paper, we study boundary actions of CAT(0) spaces from a point of view of topological dynamics and $C^*$-algebras. First, we investigate the actions of right-angled Coexter groups and right-angled Artin groups with finite defining…

We characterize twisted right-angled Artin groups whose finitely generated subgroups are also twisted right-angled Artin groups. Additionally, we give a classification of coherence within this class of groups in terms of the defining graph.…

We obtain a complete characterisation of factorial multiparameter Hecke von Neumann algebras associated with right-angled Coxeter groups. Considering their $\ell^p$-convolution algebra analogues, we exhibit an interesting parameter…

We show that the characteristic series for the greedy normal form of a Coxeter group is always a rational series, and prove a reciprocity formula for this series when the group is right-angled and the nerve is Eulerian. As corollaries we…

We study homomorphisms from K\"ahler groups to Coxeter groups. As an application, we prove that a cocompact complex hyperbolic lattice (in complex dimension at least 2) does not embedd into a Coxeter group or a right-angled Artin group.…

For a Coxeter group $W$ with length function $\ell$, the excess zero graph $\mathcal{E}_0(W)$ has vertex set the non-identity involutions of $W$, with two involutions $x$ and $y$ adjacent whenever $\ell(xy)=\ell(x)+\ell(y)$. Properties of…

It is well known that a compact two dimensional surface is homeomorphic to a polygon with the edges identified in pairs. This paper not only presents a new proof of this statement but also generalizes it to any connected $n$-dimensional…

We lay the foundations of the first-order model theory of Coxeter groups. Firstly, with the exception of the $2$-spherical non-affine case (which we leave open), we characterize the superstable Coxeter groups of finite rank, which we show…

We give a geometric characterisation of those groups that arise as fixed subgroups of finite-order untwisted automorphisms of right-angled Artin groups (RAAGs). They are precisely the fundamental groups of a class of compact special cube…

As demonstrated by Croke and Kleiner, the visual boundary of a CAT(0) group is not well-defined since quasi-isometric CAT(0) spaces can have non-homeomorphic boundaries. We introduce a new type of boundary for a CAT(0) space, called the…

We prove that for any infinite right-angled Coxeter or Artin group, its spherical and geodesic growth rates (with respect to the standard generating set) either take values in the set of Perron numbers, or equal $1$. Also, we compute the…

We use probabilistic methods to prove that many Coxeter groups are incoherent. In particular, this holds for Coxeter groups of uniform exponent > 2 with sufficiently many generators.

There is a procedure, due to Dani and Levcovitz, for taking a finite simplicial graph (\Gamma) and a subgraph (\Lambda) of its complement, checking some conditions, and, if satisfied, producing a graph (\Delta) such that the right-angled…

A k-outerplanar graph is a graph that can be drawn in the plane without crossing such that after k-fold removal of the vertices on the outer-face there are no vertices left. In this paper, we study how to triangulate a k-outerplanar graph…

We show that for many right-angled Artin and Coxeter groups, all cocompact cubulations coarsely look the same: they induce the same coarse median structure on the group. These are the first examples of non-hyperbolic groups with this…
