چکیده
The Tits conjecture claims that the subgroup generated by the squares of the standard generators of an Artin group can be presented using only the obvious relations. We show that the Tits conjecture is true for the Artin groups of type Bn.

A conjecture about Artin-Tits groups
We conjecture that the word problem of Artin–Tits groups can be solved without introducing trivial factors ss or ss. Here we make this statement precise and explain how it can be seen as a weak form of hyperbolicity. We prove the conjecture in the case of Artin–Tits groups of type FC, and we discuss various possible approaches for further extensions, in particular a syntactic argument that work...
متن کاملThe solution to a conjecture of Tits on the subgroup generated by the squares of the generators of an Artin group John Crisp and Luis Paris
Let A be an Artin group with standard generating set Σ. Tits conjectured that the only relations in A amongst the squares of the generators are the obvious ones, namely that σ2 and τ2 commute whenever σ and τ commute, for σ, τ ∈ Σ. In this paper we prove Tits’ conjecture for all Artin groups. In fact, given a number m(σ) ≥ 2 for each σ ∈ Σ, we show that the elements {T (σ) = σm(σ) : σ ∈ Σ} gene...
متن کاملThe solution to a conjecture of Tits on the subgroup generated by the squares of the generators of an Artin group
Let A be an Artin group with standard generating set {σs : s ∈ S}. Tits conjectured that the only relations in A amongst the squares of the generators are consequences of the obvious ones, namely that σ s and σ t commute whenever σs and σt commute, for s, t ∈ S. In this paper we prove Tits’ conjecture for all Artin groups. In fact, given a number ms ≥ 2 for each s ∈ S, we show that the elements...
متن کاملBasic Questions on Artin-Tits groups
This paper is a short survey on four basic questions on Artin-Tits groups: the torsion, the center, the word problem, and the cohomology (K(π, 1) problem). It is also an opportunity to prove three new results concerning these questions: (1) if all free of infinity Artin-Tits groups are torsion free, then all Artin-Tits groups will be torsion free; (2) If all free of infinity irreducible non-sph...
متن کاملOn the cycling operation in braid groups
The cycling operation is a special kind of conjugation that can be applied to elements in Artin’s braid groups, in order to reduce their length. It is a key ingredient of the usual solutions to the conjugacy problem in braid groups. In their seminal paper on braid-cryptography, Ko, Lee et al. proposed the cycling problem as a hard problem in braid groups that could be interesting for cryptograp...
