We prove that every RAAG (Right Angled Artin Group) embeds in the group of Hamiltonian symplectomorphisms of every symplectic manifold.

We prove that any standard parabolic subgroup of any Artin group is convex with respect to the standard generating set.

Fix an algebraic space S, and let X and Y be separated Artin stacks of finite presentation over S with finite diagonals (over S). We define a stack HomS(X ,Y) classifying morphisms between X and Y. Assume that X is proper and flat over S, and fppf–locally on S there exists a finite finitely presented flat cover Z → X with Z an algebraic space. Then we show that HomS(X ,Y) is an Artin stack with...

‎let $r$ be a commutative ring with non-zero identity. ‎we describe all $c_3$‎- ‎and $c_4$-free intersection graph of non-trivial ideals of $r$ as well as $c_n$-free intersection graph when $r$ is a reduced ring. ‎also, ‎we shall describe all complete, ‎regular and $n$-claw-free intersection graphs. ‎finally, ‎we shall prove that almost all artin rings $r$ have hamiltonian intersection graphs. ...

Let Γ be a graph. The (unlabelled) configuration space UCnΓ of n points on Γ is the space of n-element subsets of Γ. The n-strand braid group of Γ, denoted BnΓ, is the fundamental group of UCnΓ. We use the methods and results of [10] to get a partial description of the cohomology rings H∗(BnT ), where T is a tree. Our results are then used to prove that BnT is a right-angled Artin group if and ...

We characterize convex cocompact subgroups of mapping class groups that arise as subgroups of specially embedded right-angled Artin groups. That is, if the right-angled Artin group G < Mod(S) satisfies certain conditions that imply G is quasi-isometrically embedded in Mod(S), then a purely pseudo-Anosov subgroup H < G is convex cocompact in Mod(S) if and only if it is combinatorially quasiconve...

We formulate a conjectural p-adic analogue of Borel’s theorem relating regulators for higher K-groups of number fields to special values of the corresponding ζ-functions, using syntomic regulators and p-adic L-functions. We also formulate a corresponding conjecture for Artin motives, and state a conjecture about the precise relation between the p-adic and classical situations. Parts of the conj...

Let A be an Artin group with standard generating set {σs : s ∈ S}. Tits conjectured that the only relations in A amongst the squares of the generators are consequences of the obvious ones, namely that σ s and σ t commute whenever σs and σt commute, for s, t ∈ S. In this paper we prove Tits’ conjecture for all Artin groups. In fact, given a number ms ≥ 2 for each s ∈ S, we show that the elements...

We prove that finitely generated purely loxodromic subgroups of a right-angled Artin group A(Γ) fulfill equivalent conditions that parallel characterizations of convex cocompactness in mapping class groups Mod(S). In particular, such subgroups are quasiconvex in A(Γ). In addition, we identify a milder condition for a finitely generated subgroup of A(Γ) that guarantees it is free, undistorted, a...

We develop a theory of toric Artin stacks extending the theories of toric Deligne-Mumford stacks developed by Borisov-Chen-Smith, Fantechi-Mann-Nironi, and Iwanari. We also generalize the Chevalley-Shephard-Todd theorem to the case of diagonalizable group schemes. These are both applications of our main theorem which shows that a toroidal embedding X is canonically the good moduli space (in the...
