Right-angled Artin groups and Out(Fn) I: quasi-isometric embeddings
نویسنده
چکیده
We construct quasi-isometric embeddings from right-angled Artin groups into the outer automorphism group of a free group. These homomorphisms are modeled on the homomorphisms into the mapping class group constructed by Clay, Leininger, and Mangahas in [CLM12]. Toward this goal, we develop tools in the free group setting that mirror those for surface groups and discuss various analogs of subsurface projection.

Anti-trees and right-angled Artin subgroups of braid groups
We prove that an arbitrary right-angled Artin group G admits a quasi-isometric group embedding into a right-angled Artin group defined by the opposite graph of a tree. Consequently, G admits quasi-isometric group embeddings into a pure braid group and into the area-preserving diffeomorphism groups of the 2–disk and the 2–sphere, answering questions due to Crisp–Wiest and M. Kapovich. Another co...
متن کاملQuasi-isometrically Embedded Subgroups of Braid and Diffeomorphism Groups
We show that a large class of right-angled Artin groups (in particular, those with planar complementary defining graph) can be embedded quasi-isometrically in pure braid groups and in the group Diff(D2, ∂D2, vol) of area preserving diffeomorphisms of the disk fixing the boundary (with respect to the L2-norm metric); this extends results of Benaim and Gambaudo who gave quasi-isometric embeddings...
متن کامل1 4 A ug 2 00 7 THE ASYMPTOTIC GEOMETRY OF RIGHT - ANGLED ARTIN GROUPS , I
We study atomic right-angled Artin groups – those whose defining graph has no cycles of length ≤ 4, and no separating vertices, separating edges, or separating vertex stars. We show that these groups are not quasi-isometrically rigid, but that an intermediate form of rigidity does hold. We deduce from this that two atomic groups are quasi-isometric iff they are isomorphic.
متن کاملQuasi-isometric Classification of Some High Dimensional Right-angled Artin Groups
In this note we give the quasi-isometry classification for a class of right angled Artin groups. In particular, we obtain the first such classification for a class of Artin groups with dimension larger than 2; our families exist in every dimension.
