CAT(0) cubical complexes for graph products of finitely generated abelian groups
نویسندگان
چکیده
We construct for every graph product of finitely generated abelian groups a CAT(0) cubical complex on which it acts properly and cocompactly. The complex generalizes (up to subdivision) the Salvetti complex of a right-angled Artin group and the Coxeter complex of a right-angled Coxeter group.

The Tits Alternative for Cat(0) Cubical Complexes
We prove a Tits alternative theorem for groups acting on CAT(0) cubical complexes. Namely, suppose that G is a group for which there is a bound on the orders of its finite subgroups. We prove that if G acts properly on a finitedimensional CAT(0) cubical complex, then either G contains a free subgroup of rank 2 or G is finitely generated and virtually abelian. In particular the above conclusion ...
متن کاملSmall Cancellation Labellings of Some Infinite Graphs and Applications
We construct small cancellation labellings for some infinite sequences of finite graphs of bounded degree. We use them to define infinite graphical small cancellation presentations of groups. This technique allows us to provide examples of groups with exotic properties: • We construct the first examples of finitely generated coarsely nonamenable groups (that is, groups without Guoliang Yu’s Pro...
متن کاملRigidity of Graph Products of Abelian Groups
We show that if G is a group and G has a graphproduct decomposition with finitely-generated abelian vertex groups, then G has two canonical decompositions as a graph product of groups: a unique decomposition in which each vertex group is a directly-indecomposable cyclic group, and a unique decomposition in which each vertex group is a finitely-generated abelian group and the graph satisfies the...
متن کاملRecognition of Subgroups of Direct Products of Hyperbolic Groups
We give examples of direct products of three hyperbolic groups in which there cannot exist an algorithm to decide which finitely presented subgroups are isomorphic. In [1] Baumslag, Short and the present authors constructed an example of a biautomatic group G in which there is no algorithm that decides isomorphism among the finitely presented subgroups of G. The group G was a direct product of ...
متن کاملActions of Picture Groups on CAT(0) Cubical Complexes
A class of groups, called picture groups, is defined. Richard Thompson’s groups F , T , and V are all picture groups. Each picture group is shown to act properly and isometrically on a CAT(0) cubical complex. In particular, all picture groups are a-T-menable. Mathematics Subject Classifications (2000). 20F65, 43A15.
