Abstract: In this article we study the right-angled Artin subgroups of a given right-angled Artin group. Starting with a graph $gam$, we produce a new graph through a purely combinatorial procedure, and call it the extension graph $ga{m}^e$ of $gam$. We produce a second graph $ga{m}_k^e$, the clique graph of $ga{m}^e$, by adding extra vertices for each complete subgraph of $ga{m}^e$. We prove that each finite induced subgraph $Lambda$ of $ga{m}^e$ gives rise to an inclusion $A(Lambda)oA(gam)$. Conversely, we show that if there is an inclusion $A(Lambda)oA(gam)$ then $Lambda$ is an induced subgraph of $ga{m}_k^e$. These results have a number of corollaries. Let $P_4$ denote the path on four vertices and let $C_n$ denote the cycle of length $n$. We prove that $A(P_4)$ embeds in $A(gam)$ if and only if $P_4$ is an induced subgraph of $gam$. We prove that if $F$ is any finite forest then $A(F)$ embeds in $A(P_4)$. We recover the first author's result on co--contraction of graphs and prove that if $gam$ has no triangles and $A(gam)$ contains a copy of $A(C_n)$ for some $ngeq5$, then $gam$ contains a copy of $C_m$ for some $5lemlen$. We also recover Kambites' Theorem, which asserts that if $A(C_4)$ embeds in $A(gam)$ then $gam$ contains an induced square. Finally, we determine precisely when there is an inclusion $A(C_m)oA(C_n)$ and show that there is no "universal" two--dimensional right-angled Artin group.
