Characterising large-type Artin groups

Group Theory 2023-05-11 v1

Abstract

We show that the class of large-type Artin groups is invariant under isomorphism, in stark contrast with the corresponding situation for Coxeter groups. We obtain this result by providing a purely algebraic characterisation of large-type Artin groups (i.e. independent of the presentation graph). As a corollary, we completely describe the Artin groups isomorphic to a given large-type Artin group, and characterise those large-type Artin groups that are rigid.
