It is known that the pure braid groups are residually torsion-free nilpotent. This property is however widely open for the most obvious generalizations of these groups, like pure Artin groups and like fundamental groups of hyperplane…
We define a representation of the Artin groups of type ADE by monodromy of generalized KZ-systems which is shown to be isomorphic to the generalized Krammer representation originally defined by A.M. Cohen and D. Wales, and independantly by…
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 prove several results on the model theory of Artin groups, focusing on Artin groups which are ``far from right-angled Artin groups''. The first result is that if $\mathcal{C}$ is a class of Artin groups whose irreducible components are…
We prove that pure braid groups of closed surface are almost-direct products of residually torsion free nilpotent groups and hence residually torsion free nilpotent. As a Corollary, we prove also that braid groups on 2 strands of closed…
We provide sufficient conditions for a free amalgamated product of torsionfree nilpotent groups to be residually nilpotent. We also characterise the residual nilpotence of certain higher-dimensional amalgams of unipotent groups over the…
It is shown that finite groups in which the order of the product of every pair of elements of co-prime order is the product of the orders, is nilpotent.
We prove that triangle Artin groups of the type $A_{2,3,2n}$ are residually finite for all $n\geq4$. This requires splitting these triangle Artin groups as graphs of groups and then proving that each of these graphs of groups has finite…
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.
Motivated by the enhanced gauge symmetry phenomenon of the physics literature and mirror symmetry, this paper constructs an action of an Artin group on the derived category of coherent sheaves of a smooth quasiprojective threefold…
In this short note we prove that a class of Artin groups of affine and complex types are virtually poly-free, answering partially the question if all Artin groups are virtually poly-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…
We prove that two Artin groups of spherical type are isomorphic if and only if their defining Coxeter graphs are the same.
We prove that every subnormal subgroup of p-power index in a right-angled Artin group is conjugacy p-separable. As an application, we prove that every right-angled Artin group is conjugacy separable in the class of torsion-free nilpotent…
Let $G$ be a finite group. In this short note, we give a criterion of nilpotency of $G$ based on the existence of elements of certain order in each section of $G$.
We show that many $2$-dimensional Artin groups are residually finite. This includes $3$-generator Artin groups with labels $\geq 4$ except for $(2m+1, 4,4)$ for any $m\geq 2$. As a first step towards residual finiteness we show that these…
A number of properties of spherical Artin groups extend to Garside groups, defined as the groups of fractions of monoids where least common multiples exist, there is no nontrivial unit, and some additional finiteness conditions are…
A short proof of the linear nested Artin approximation property of the algebraic power series rings is given here.
This paper considers the question of relative hyperbolicity of an Artin group with regard to the geometry of its associated Deligne complex. We prove that an Artin group is weakly hyperbolic relative to its finite (or spherical) type…
We show that a triangle Artin group $\text{Art}_{MNP}$ where $M\leq N\leq P$ splits as an amalgamated product or an HNN extension of finite rank free groups, provided that either $M>2$, or $N>3$. We also prove that all even three generator…
