Helly groups
Helly graphs are graphs in which every family of pairwise intersecting balls
has a non-empty intersection. This is a classical and widely studied class of
graphs. In this article we focus on groups acting geometrically on Helly graphs
-- Helly groups. We provide numerous examples of such groups: all (Gromov)
hyperbolic, CAT(0) cubical, finitely presented graphical C(4)T(4) small
cancellation groups, and type-preserving uniform lattices in Euclidean
buildings of type are Helly; free products of Helly groups with
amalgamation over finite subgroups, graph products of Helly groups, some
diagram products of Helly groups, some right-angled graphs of Helly groups, and
quotients of Helly groups by finite normal subgroups are Helly. We show many
properties of Helly groups: biautomaticity, existence of finite dimensional
models for classifying spaces for proper actions, contractibility of asymptotic
cones, existence of EZ-boundaries, satisfiability of the Farrell-Jones
conjecture and of the coarse Baum-Connes conjecture. This leads to new results
for some classical families of groups (e.g. for FC-type Artin groups) and to a
unified approach to results obtained earlier
