On the isomorphism problem for even Artin groups

Abstract

An even Artin group is a group which has a presentation with relations of the form (st)n=(ts)n(st)^n=(ts)^n with n1n\ge 1. With a group GG we associate a Lie Z\mathbb Z-algebra TGr(G)\mathcal{TG}r(G). This is the usual Lie algebra defined from the lower central series, truncated at the third rank. For each even Artin group GG we determine a presentation for TGr(G)\mathcal{TG}r(G). Then we prove a criterion to determine whether two Coxeter matrices are isomorphic. Let c,dNc,d\in\mathbb N such that c1c\ge1, d2d\ge2 and gcd(c,d)=1\gcd(c,d)=1. We show that, if two even Artin groups GG and GG' having presentations with relations of the form (st)n=(ts)n(st)^n=(ts)^n with n{c}{dkk1}n\in\{c\}\cup\{d^k\mid k\ge1\} are such that TGr(G)TGr(G)\mathcal{TG}r(G)\simeq\mathcal{TG}r(G'), then GG and GG' have the same presentation up to permutation of the generators. On the other hand, we show an example of two non-isomorphic even Artin groups GG and GG' such that TGr(G)TGr(G)\mathcal{TG}r(G)\simeq\mathcal{TG}r(G').
