چکیده
We show that Artin groups of finite type satisfy a quadratic isoperimetric inequality. Moreover we describe an explicit algorithm to solve the word problem in quadratic time.

Gaussian groups and Garside groups, two generalisations of Artin groups
It is known that a number of algebraic properties of the braid groups extend to arbitrary finite Coxeter type Artin groups. Here we show how to extend the results to more general groups that we call Garside groups. Define a Gaussian monoid to be a finitely generated cancellative monoid where the expressions of a given element have bounded lengths, and where left and right lower common multiples...
متن کاملAn Isoperimetric Function for Bestvina-brady Groups
Given a right-angled Artin group A, the associated BestvinaBrady group is defined to be the kernel of the homomorphism A → Z that maps each generator in the standard presentation of A to a fixed generator of Z. We prove that the Dehn function of an arbitrary finitely presented BestvinaBrady group is bounded above by n. This is the best possible universal upper bound.
متن کاملThin Groups of Fractions
A number of properties of spherical Artin groups extend to Garside groups, defined as the groups of fractions of monoids where least common multiples exist, there is no nontrivial unit, and some additional finiteness conditions are satisfied [9]. Here we investigate a wider class of groups of fractions, called thin, which are those associated with monoids where minimal common multiples exist, b...
متن کاملComplete Positive Group Presentations
A combinatorial property of prositive group presentations, called completeness, is introduced, with an effective criterion for recognizing complete presentations, and an iterative method for completing an incomplete presentation. We show how to directly read several properties of the associated monoid and group from a complete presentation: cancellativity or existence of common multiples in the...
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...
