Algebraic Invariants for Right - Angled Artin

چکیده
A finite simplicial graph Γ determines a right-angled Artin group GΓ, with generators corresponding to the vertices of Γ, and with a relation vw = wv for each pair of adjacent vertices. We compute the lower central series quotients, the Chen quotients, and the (first) resonance variety of GΓ, directly from the graph Γ.

Algebraic Invariants for Bestvina-brady Groups
Bestvina-Brady groups arise as kernels of length homomorphisms GΓ → Z from right-angled Artin groups to the integers. Under some connectivity assumptions on the flag complex ∆Γ, we compute several algebraic invariants of such a group NΓ, directly from the underlying graph Γ. As an application, we give examples of finitely presented Bestvina-Brady groups which are not isomorphic to any Artin gro...
متن کاملActions of right-angled Artin groups in low dimensions
We survey the role of right-angled Artin groups in the theory of diffeomorphism groups of low dimensional manifolds. We first describe some of the subgroup structure of right-angled Artin groups. We then discuss the interplay between algebraic structure, compactness, and regularity for group actions on one–dimensional manifolds. For compact one–manifolds, every right-angled Artin group acts fai...
متن کاملTopology of Random Right Angled Artin Groups
In this paper we study topological invariants of a class of random groups. Namely, we study right angled Artin groups associated to random graphs and investigate their Betti numbers, cohomological dimension and topological complexity. The latter is a numerical homotopy invariant reflecting complexity of motion planning algorithms in robotics. We show that the topological complexity of a random ...
متن کاملAn Introduction to Right-angled Artin Groups
Recently, right-angled Artin groups have attracted much attention in geometric group theory. They have a rich structure of subgroups and nice algorithmic properties, and they give rise to cubical complexes with a variety of applications. This survey article is meant to introduce readers to these groups and to give an overview of the relevant literature. Artin groups span a wide range of groups ...
متن کاملPushing fillings in right-angled Artin groups
We define a family of quasi-isometry invariants of groups called higher divergence functions, which measure isoperimetric properties “at infinity.” We give sharp upper and lower bounds on the divergence functions for right-angled Artin groups, using different pushing maps on the associated cube complexes. In the process, we define a class of RAAGs we call orthoplex groups, which have the proper...
