Subgroups of even Artin groups of FC-type

We prove a Tits alternative theorem for subgroups of finitely generated even Artin groups of FC type (EAFC groups), stating that there exists a finite index subgroup such that every subgroup of it is either finitely generated abelian, or maps onto a non-abelian free group. Parabolic subgroups play a key role, and we show that parabolic subgroups of EAFC groups are closed under taking roots

Intersection of parabolic subgroups in even Artin groups of FC-type

We show that the intersection of parabolic subgroups of an even finitely generated FC-type Artin group is again a parabolic subgroup

Results on Artin and twisted Artin groups

Questa tesi consiste in tre capitoli principali, e tutti si evolvono intorno ai gruppi di Artin. Dimostrare risultati per tutti i gruppi di Artin è una sfida seria, quindi di solito ci si concentra su particolari sottoclassi. Tra le sottofamiglie più conosciute dei gruppi di Artin c'è la famiglia dei gruppi Artin ad angolo retto (RAAGs in breve). Si possono definire usando i grafici simpliciali, che determinano il gruppo fino all'isomorfismo. Sono anche interessanti perché ci sono una varietà di metodi per studiarli, provenienti da diversi punti di vista, come la geometria, l'algebra e la combinatoria. Questo ha portato alla comprensione di molti problemi dei RAAG, come il problema delle parole, la crescita sferica, le intersezioni di sottogruppi parabolici, ecc. Nel Capitolo 2 ci concentriamo sulla crescita geodetica dei RAAG, su grafi link-regolari, ed estendiamo un risultato in quella direzione, fornendo una formula della crescita su grafi link-regolari senza tetraedri. Nel capitolo 3 lavoriamo con gruppi leggermente diversi, la classe dei gruppi Artin contorti ad angolo retto (tRAAGs in breve). Sono definiti usando grafi misti, che sono grafi semplici in cui i bordi possono essere diretti. Troviamo una forma normale per presentare gli elementi in un tRAAG. Se dimentichiamo le direzioni dei bordi, otteniamo un grafo non diretto sottostante, che chiamiamo grafo ingenuo. Sul grafo ingenuo, che è semplice, si può definire un RAAG, che corrisponde naturalmente al nostro tRAAG. Discuteremo alcune somiglianze e differenze algebriche e geometriche tra i tRAAG e i RAAG. Usando la forma normale siamo in grado di concludere che la crescita sferica e geodetica di un tRAAG concorda con la rispettiva crescita del RAAG sottostante. Il capitolo 4 ha un tema diverso, e consiste nello studio dei sottogruppi parabolici nei gruppi pari di Artin. Il lavoro è motivato dai risultati corrispondenti nei RAAG, e generalizziamo alcuni di questi risultati a certe sottoclassi di gruppi pari di Artin. ​ // This thesis consists of three main chapters, and they all revolve around Artin groups. Proving results for all Artin groups is a serious challenge, so one usually focuses on particular subclasses. Among the most well understood subfamilies of Artin groups is the family of right-angled Artin groups (RAAGs shortly). One can define them using simplicial graphs, which determine the group up to isomorphism. They are also interesting as there are a variety of methods for studying them, coming from different viewpoints, such as geometry, algebra, and combinatorics. This has resulted in the understanding of many problems in RAAGs, like the word problem, the spherical growth, intersections of parabolic subgroups, etc. In Chapter 2 we focus on the geodesic growth of RAAGs, over link-regular graphs, and we extend a result in that direction, by providing a formula of the growth over link-regular graphs without tetrahedra. In Chapter 3 we work with slightly different groups, the class of twisted right-angled Artin groups (tRAAGs shortly). They are defined using mixed graphs, which are simplicial graphs where edges are allowed to be directed edges. We find a normal form for presenting the elements in a tRAAG. If we forget about directions of edges, we obtain an underlying undirected graph, which we call the naïve graph. Over the naïve graph, which is simplicial, one can define a RAAG, which corresponds naturally to our tRAAG. We will discuss some algebraic and geometric similarities and differences between tRAAGs and RAAGs. Using the normal form theorem we are able to conclude that the spherical and geodesic growth of a tRAAG agrees with the respective growth of the underlying RAAG. Chapter 4 has a different theme, and it consists of the study of parabolic subgroups in even Artin groups. The work is motivated by the corresponding results in RAAGs, and we generalize some of these results to certain subclasses of even Artin groups

Subgroups of even Artin groups of FC-type

We prove a Tits alternative theorem for subgroups of finitely generated even Artin groups of FC type (EAFC groups), stating that there exists a finite index subgroup such that every subgroup of it is either finitely generated abelian, or maps onto a non-abelian free group. Parabolic subgroups play a key role, and we show that parabolic subgroups of EAFC groups are closed under taking roots

Geodesic Growth of some 3-dimensional RACGs

We give explicit formulas for the geodesic growth series of a Right Angled Coxeter Group (RACG) based on a link-regular graph that is 4-clique free, i.e. without tetrahedrons

Membership problems for positive one-relator groups and one-relation monoids

Motivated by approaches to the word problem for one-relation monoids arising from work of Adian and Oganesian (1987), Guba (1997), and Ivanov, Margolis and Meakin (2001), we study the submonoid and rational subset membership problems in one-relation monoids and in positive one-relator groups. We give the first known examples of positive one-relator groups with undecidable submonoid membership problem, and apply this to give the first known examples of one-relation monoids with undecidable submonoid membership problem. We construct several infinite families of one-relation monoids with undecidable submonoid membership problem, including examples that are defined by relations of the form $w=1$ but which are not groups, and examples defined by relations of the form $u=v$ where both of $u$ and $v$ are non-empty. As a consequence we obtain a classification of the right-angled Artin groups that can arise as subgroups of one-relation monoids. We also give examples of monoids with a single defining relation of the form $aUb = a$, and examples of the form $aUb=aVa$, with undecidable rational subset membership problem. We give a one-relator group defined by a freely reduced word of the form $uv^{-1}$ with $u, v$ positive words, in which the prefix membership problem is undecidable. Finally, we prove the existence of a special two-relator inverse monoid with undecidable word problem, and in which both the relators are positive words. As a corollary, we also find a positive two-relator group with undecidable prefix membership problem. In proving these results, we introduce new methods for proving undecidability of the rational subset membership problem in monoids and groups, including by finding suitable embeddings of certain trace monoids
