Abstract

Let AA and AA' be two Artin groups of spherical type, and let A1,,ApA_1,\dots,A_p (resp. A1,,AqA'_1,\dots,A'_q) be the irreducible components of AA (resp. AA'). We show that AA and AA' are commensurable if and only if p=qp=q and, up to permutation of the indices, AiA_i and AiA'_i are commensurable for every ii. We prove that, if two Artin groups of spherical type are commensurable, then they have the same rank. For a fixed nn, we give a complete classification of the irreducible Artin groups of rank nn that are commensurable with the group of type AnA_n. Note that it will remain 6 pairs of groups to compare to get the complete classification of Artin groups of spherical type up to commensurability.
