Trivial Center

It is conjectured that an irreducible Artin group which is of infinite type has trivial center. The conjecture is known to be true for two-dimensional Artin groups and for a few other types of Artin groups. In this work, we show that the conjecture holds true for Artin groups which satisfy a condition stronger than being of infinite type. We use small cancellation theory of relative presentations.

Right Angled Artin Groups

Let $G$ be a group acting properly by isometries and with a strongly contracting element on a geodesic metric space. Let $N$ be an infinite normal subgroup of $G$ and let $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FF}_{N}$ and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FF}_{G}$ be the growth rates of $N$ and $G$ with respect to the pseudo-metric induced by the action. We prove that if $G$ has purely exponential growth with respect to the pseudo-metric, then $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FF}_{N}/\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FF}_{G}>1/2$. Our result applies to suitable actions of hyperbolic groups, right-angled Artin groups and other CAT(0) groups, mapping class groups, snowflake groups, small cancellation groups, etc. This extends Grigorchuk’s original result on free groups with respect to a word metric and a recent result of Matsuzaki, Yabuki and Jaerisch on groups acting on hyperbolic spaces to a much wider class of groups acting on spaces that are not necessarily hyperbolic.

AbstractBy a result of Gersten and Short finite presentations satisfying the usual non-metric small cancellation conditions present biautomatic groups. We show that in the case in which all pieces have length 1, a generalization of the C(3)-T(6) condition yields a larger collection of biautomatic groups.

This article concerns a class of groups of Fibonacci type introduced by Johnson and Mawdesley that includes Conway's Fibonacci groups, the Sieradski groups, and the Gilbert–Howie groups. This class of groups provides an interesting focus for developing the theory of cyclically presented groups and, following questions by Bardakov and Vesnin and by Cavicchioli, Hegenbarth, and Repovš, they have enjoyed renewed interest in recent years. We survey results concerning their algebraic properties, such as isomorphisms within the class, the classification of the finite groups, small cancellation properties, abelianizations, asphericity, connections with Labeled Oriented Graph groups, and the semigroups of Fibonacci type. Further, we present a new method of proving the classification of the finite groups that deals with all but three groups.
