Abstract

Several distinct Garside monoids having torus knot groups as groups of fractions are known. For n,m2n,m\geq 2 two coprime integers, we introduce a new Garside monoid M(n,m)\mathcal{M}(n,m) having as Garside group the (n,m)(n,m)-torus knot group, thereby generalizing to all torus knot groups a construction that we previously gave for the (n,n+1)(n,n+1)-torus knot group. As a byproduct, we obtain new Garside structures for the braid groups of a few exceptional complex reflection groups of rank two. Analogous Garside structures are also constructed for a few additional braid groups of exceptional complex reflection groups of rank two which are not isomorphic to torus knot groups, namely for G13G_{13} and for dihedral Artin groups of even type.
