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…

We show that each of the Artin groups of type $B_n$ and $D_n$ can be presented as a semidirect product $F \rtimes {\cal B}_n$, where $F$ is a free group and ${\cal B}_n$ is the $n$-string braid group. We explain how these semidirect product…

We prove the strong Atiyah conjecture for right-angled Artin groups and right-angled Coxeter groups. More generally, we prove it for groups which are certain finite extensions or elementary amenable extensions of such groups.

An Artin HNN-extension is an HNN-extension of an Artin group in which the stable letter conjugates a pair of suitably chosen subsets of the standard generating set. We show that some finite index subgroup of an Artin HNN-extension embeds in…

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…

The graph product of a family of groups lies somewhere between their direct and free products, with the graph determining which pairs of groups commute and which do not. We show that the graph product of quasi-lattice ordered groups is…

In the present paper, we prove that the group $G_{n}^{2}$ of free $n$-strand braids is isomorphic to a subgroup of a semidirect product of some Coxeter group that we denote by $C(n,2)$ and the symmetric group $S_{n}$.

In this paper we will present the results of Artin--Markov on braid groups by using the Groebner--Shirshov basis. As a consequence we can reobtain the normal form of Artin--Markov--Ivanovsky as an easy corollary.

There does not exist an algorithm that can determine whether or not a group presented by commutators is a right-angled Artin group.

We establish the tracial stability of a certain class of graph products of C*-algebras. This result involves the development of the "pincushion class" of finite graphs. We then apply this result in two ways. The first application yields a…

We determine when certain natural classes of subgroups of right-angled Coxeter groups (RACGs) and right-angled Artin groups (RAAGs) are themselves RAAGs. We characterize finite-index visual RAAG subgroups of 2-dimensional RACGs. As an…

Small Coxeter groups are exactly those for which the Tits representation takes integral values, which makes the study of their congruence subgroups significant. In \cite{MR0938643}, Squier introduced a matrix representation of an Artin…

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…

Twin-width is a recently introduced graph parameter with applications in algorithmics, combinatorics, and finite model theory. For graphs of bounded degree, finiteness of twin-width is preserved by quasi-isometry. Thus, through Cayley…

We prove that if a right-angled Artin group $A_\Gamma$ is abstractly commensurable to a group splitting non-trivially as an amalgam or HNN-extension over $\mathbb{Z}^n$, then $A_\Gamma$ must itself split non-trivially over $\mathbb{Z}^k$…

We consider both standard and twisted action of a (real) Coxeter group G on the complement M_G to the complexified reflection hyperplanes by combining the reflections with complex conjugation. We introduce a natural geometric class of…

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…

The main result of this article is that any braided (resp. annular, planar) diagram group $D$ splits as a short exact sequence $1 \to R \to D \to S \to 1$ where $R$ is a subgroup of some right-angled Artin group and $S$ a subgroup of…

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 give criteria for deciding whether or not a triangle-free simple graph is the presentation graph of a right-angled Coxeter group that is quasiisometric to some right-angled Artin group, and, if so, producing a presentation graph for such…
