We construct an embedding of any right-angled Artin group $G(\Delta)$ defined by a graph $\Delta$ into a graph braid group. The number of strands required for the braid group is equal to the chromatic number of $\Delta$. This construction…

The \emph{action dimension} of a discrete group $G$ is the minimum dimension of a contractible manifold, which admits a proper $G$-action. In this paper, we study the action dimension of general Artin groups. The main result is that the…

Even Artin groups generalize right-angled Artin groups by allowing the labels in the defining graph to be even. In this paper a complete characterization of quasi-projective even Artin groups is given in terms of their defining graphs.…

For a mixing shift of finite type, the associated automorphism group has a rich algebraic structure, and yet we have few criteria to distinguish when two such groups are isomorphic. We introduce a stabilization of the automorphism group,…

We study the codegree isomorphism problem for finite simple groups. In particular, we show that such a group is determined by the codegrees (counting multiplicity) of its irreducible characters. The proof is uniform for all simple groups…

In the paper (Osaka J. Math. {\bf 46}: 403-409, 2009), Yang conjectured that a non-elementary subgroup $G$ of $SL(2, \bc)$ containing elliptic elements is discrete if for each elliptic element $g\in G$ the group $< f, g >$ is discrete,…

We compute explicitly the automorphism and outer automorphism group of all large-type free-of-infinity Artin groups. Our strategy involves reconstructing the associated Deligne complexes in a purely algebraic manner, i.e. in a way that is…

We define an operation on finite graphs, called co-contraction. By showing that co-contraction of a graph induces an injective map between right-angled Artin groups, we exhibit a family of graphs, without any induced cycle of length at…

It has long been known that the combinatorial properties of a graph $\Gamma$ are closely related to the group theoretic properties of its right angled artin group (raag). It's natural to ask if the graph homomorphisms are similarly related…

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…

We show that every right-angled Artin group AG defined by a graph G of finite chromatic number is poly-free with poly-free length bounded between the clique number and the chromatic number of G. Further, a characterization of all…

Using a recent result of Bartels and Lueck (arXiv:0901.0442) we deduce that the Farrell-Jones Fibered Isomorphism conjecture in L-theory is true for any group which contains a finite index strongly poly-free normal subgroup, in particular,…

Let $G=<a_1,..., a_n | a_ia_ja_i... = a_ja_ia_j..., i<j>$ be an Artin group and let $m_{ij}=m_{ji}$ be the length of each of the sides of the defining relation involving $a_i$ and $a_j$. We show if all $m_{ij}\ge 7$ then $G$ is relatively…

Given a group $G$ and an automorphism $\varphi$ of $G$, two elements $x, y \in G$ are said to be $\varphi$-conjugate if $x = g y \varphi(g)^{-1}$ for some $g \in G$. The number of equivalence classes is the Reidemeister number $R(\varphi)$…

We show that the homology of the automorphism group of a right-angled Artin group stabilizes under taking products with any right-angled Artin group.

A \emph{locally irregular graph} is a graph whose adjacent vertices have distinct degrees. We say that a graph $G$ can be decomposed into $k$ locally irregular subgraphs if its edge set may be partitioned into $k$ subsets each of which…

In this paper we study the classification of right-angled Artin groups up to commensurability. We characterise the commensurability classes of RAAGs defined by trees of diameter 4. In particular, we prove a conjecture of Behrstock and…

We use Gersten's generalization of Whitehead's algorithm to determine whether a given finitely generated subgroup of a free group $F$ is elliptic in an elementary cyclic splitting of $F$. We provide a similar result for all elementary…

A result of Bridson, Howie, Miller and Short states that if $S$ is a subgroup of type $FP_{n}(\mathbb{Q})$ of the direct product of $n$ limit groups over free groups, then $S$ is virtually the direct product of limit groups over free…

It is proven that every non-abelian right-angled Artin group has the $R_\infty$-property and bounds are given on the $R_\infty$-nilpotency index. In case the graph is transposition-free, which is true for almost all graphs, it is shown that…
