Three-generator Artin Groups of Large Type Are Biautomatic
نویسنده
چکیده
In this article we construct a piecewise Euclidean, non-positively curved 2-complex for the 3-generator Artin groups of large type. As a consequence we show that these groups are biautomatic. A slight modification of the proof shows that many other Artin groups are also biautomatic. The general question (whether all Artin groups are biautomatic) remains open.

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 کاملAutomorphisms and abstract commensurators of 2–dimensional Artin groups
In this paper we consider the class of 2–dimensional Artin groups with connected, large type, triangle-free defining graphs (type CLTTF). We classify these groups up to isomorphism, and describe a generating set for the automorphism group of each such Artin group. In the case where the defining graph has no separating edge or vertex we show that the Artin group is not abstractly commensurable 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 کاملCentral Quotients of Biautomatic Groups
The quotient of a biautomatic group by a subgroup of the center is shown to be biautomatic. The main tool used is the Neumann-Shapiro triangulation of S, associated to a biautomatic structure on Zn. As an application, direct factors of biautomatic groups are shown to be biautomatic. Biautomatic groups form a wide class of finitely presented groups with interesting geometric and computational pr...
متن کاملCohomology of Artin groups of type Ãn , Bn and applications
We consider two natural embeddings between Artin groups: the group GÃn−1 of type Ãn−1 embeds into the group GBn of type Bn ; GBn in turn embeds into the classical braid group Brn+1 := GAn of type An . The cohomologies of these groups are related, by standard results, in a precise way. By using techniques developed in previous papers, we give precise formulas (sketching the proofs) for the cohom...
