چکیده
This paper considers the question of relative hyperbolicity of an Artin group with regard to the geometry of its associated Deligne complex. We prove that an Artin group is weakly hyperbolic relative to its finite (or spherical) type parabolic subgroups if and only if its Deligne complex is a Gromov hyperbolic space. For a 2-dimensional Artin group the Deligne complex is Gromov hyperbolic precisely when the corresponding Davis complex is Gromov hyperbolic, that is, precisely when the underlying Coxeter group is a hyperbolic group. For Artin groups of FC type we give a sufficient condition for hyperbolicity of the Deligne complex which applies to a large class of these groups for which the underlying Coxeter group is hyperbolic.

We show that an Artin group G with all m ij ≥ 7 is relatively hyperbolic in the sense of Farb with respect to the collection of subgroups a i , a j (where m ij < ∞).
متن کاملA Note on Relative Hyperbolicity and Artin Groups
In [12], I. Kapovich and P. Schupp showed that certain 2-dimensional Artin groups (those with all relator indices at least 7) are hyperbolic relative (in the sense of Farb) to their non-free rank 2 parabolic subgroups. This paper considers the question of relative hyperbolicity of an Artin group with regard to the geometry of the associated Deligne complex. We prove a relative version of the Mi...

In this paper we introduce a quasi-isometric invariant class of metric spaces which we call metrically thick. We show that any metrically thick space is not (strongly) relatively hyperbolic with respect to any non-trivial collection of subsets. Further, we show that the property of being (strongly) relatively hyperbolic with thick peripheral subgroups is a quasi-isometry invariant. We show that...

We study the geometry of nonrelatively hyperbolic groups. Generalizing a result of Schwartz, any quasi-isometric image of a non-relatively hyperbolic space in a relatively hyperbolic space is contained in a bounded neighborhood of a single peripheral subgroup. This implies that a group being relatively hyperbolic with nonrelatively hyperbolic peripheral subgroups is a quasi-isometry invariant. ...
