Fit systolic groups, exactly

Group Theory 2026-02-19 v1 Metric Geometry

Abstract

A systolic complex/bridged graph is fit when its (metric) intervals are "not too large". We prove that uniformly locally finite fit systolic complexes have Yu's Property A. In particular, groups acting properly on such complexes have Property A, (equivalently) they are exact, and (equivalently) they are boundary amenable. As applications we show that groups from a class containing all large-type Artin groups, as well as all finitely presented graphical C(3)C(3)--T(6)T(6) small cancellation groups, and finitely presented classical C(6)C(6) small cancellation groups are exact. We also provide further examples. Our proof relies on a combinatorial criterion for Property~A due to \v{S}pakula and Wright.
