In this article we study the right-angled Artin subgroups of a given right-angled Artin group. Starting with a graph $\gam$, we produce a new graph through a purely combinatorial procedure, and call it the extension graph $\gam^e$ of…

We give a group theoretic characterization of geodesics with superlinear divergence in the Cayley graph of a right-angled Artin group A(G) with connected defining graph G. We use this to determine when two points in an asymptotic cone of…

We linearize the Artin representation of the braid group given by (right) automorphisms of a free group providing a linear faithful representation of the braid group. This result is generalized to obtain linear representations for the…

A result of Allock [1](arXiv:math/9907194) states that certain orbifold braid groups contain Artin groups of type $D_n$, $\tilde{B}_n$ and $\tilde{D}_n$ as finite index subgroups. The underlying orbifolds have at most two cone points of…

We construct the first examples of normal subgroups of mapping class groups that are isomorphic to non-free right-angled Artin groups. Our construction also gives normal, non-free right-angled Artin subgroups of other groups, such as braid…

We show that the fundamental groups of any two closed irreducible non-geometric graph-manifolds are quasi-isometric. This answers a question of Kapovich and Leeb. We also classify the quasi-isometry types of fundamental groups of…

Group theory involves the study of symmetry, and its inherent beauty gives it the potential to be one of the most accessible and enjoyable areas of mathematics, for students and non-mathematicians alike. Unfortunately, many students never…

For any right-angled Artin group, we show that its outer automorphism group contains either a finite-index nilpotent subgroup or a nonabelian free subgroup. This is a weak Tits alternative theorem. We find a criterion on the defining graph…

This article focuses on the study of cut groups, i.e., the groups which have only trivial central units in their integral group ring. We provide state of art for cut groups. The results are compiled in a systematic manner and have also been…

We introduce the palindromic automorphism group and the palindromic Torelli group of a right-angled Artin group A_G. The palindromic automorphism group Pi A_G is related to the principal congruence subgroups of GL(n,Z) and to the…

We show that a right-angled Artin group, defined by a graph $\Gamma$ that has at least three vertices, does not split over an infinite cyclic subgroup if and only if $\Gamma$ is biconnected. Further, we compute JSJ--decompositions of…

We construct an algebraic homology functor for Artin stacks of finite type over a field, and we develop intersection-theoretic properties.

We prove that finite index subgroups of right angled Artin groups are conjugacy separable. We then apply this result to establish various properties of other classes of groups. In particular, we show that any word hyperbolic Coxeter group…

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…

Artin's representation is an injective homomorphism from the braid group $B_n$ on $n$ strands into $\operatorname{Aut}\mathbb{F}_n$, the automorphism group of the free group $\mathbb{F}_n$ on $n$ generators. The representation induces maps…
