Linearity of Artin Groups of Finite Type
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent results on the linearity of braid groups are extended in two ways. We generalize the Lawrence Krammer representation as well as Krammer’s faithfulness proof for this linear representation to Artin groups of finite type.

A Combination Theorem for Special Cube Complexes
We prove that certain compact cube complexes have special finite covers. This means they have finite covers whose fundamental groups are quasiconvex subgroups of right-angled Artin groups. As a result we obtain, linearity and the separability of quasiconvex subgroups, for the groups we consider. Our result applies in particular to compact negatively curved cube complexes whose hyperplanes don’t...

متن کاملArtin groups, rewriting systems and three-manifolds
We construct finite complete rewriting systems for two large classes of Artin groups: those of finite type, and those whose defining graphs are based on trees. The constructions in the two cases are quite different; while the construction for Artin groups of finite type uses normal forms introduced through work on complex hyperplane arrangements, the rewriting systems for Artin groups based on ...
متن کاملAn Isoperimetric Inequality for Artin Groups of Finite Type
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.
متن کاملPalindromes and Orderings in Artin Groups
The braid group Bn, endowed with Artin’s presentation, admits two distinguished involutions. One is the anti-automorphism rev : Bn → Bn, v 7→ v̄, defined by reading braids in the reverse order (from right to left instead of left to right). Another one is the conjugation τ : x 7→ ∆x∆ by the generalized half-twist (Garside element). More generally, the involution rev is defined for all Artin group...
