The conjugacy stability problem for parabolic subgroups in Artin groups

Group Theory 2022-10-18 v3

Abstract

Given an Artin group AA and a parabolic subgroup PP, we study if every two elements of PP that are conjugate in AA, are also conjugate in PP. We provide an algorithm to solve this decision problem if AA satisfies three properties that are conjectured to be true for every Artin group. We partially solve the problem if AA has FCFC-type, and we totally solve it if AA is isomorphic to a free product of spherical Artin groups. In particular, we show that in this latter case, every element of AA is contained in a unique minimal (by inclusion) parabolic subgroup.
