Extra-large type Artin groups are hierarchically hyperbolic

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We show that Artin groups of extra-large type, and more generally Artin groups of large and hyperbolic type, are hierarchically hyperbolic. This implies in particular that these groups have finite asymptotic dimension and uniform exponential growth. We prove these results by using a combinatorial approach to hierarchical hyperbolicity, via the action of these groups on a new complex that is quasi-isometric both to the coned-off Deligne complex introduced by Martin-Przytycki and to a generalisation due to Morris-Wright of the graph of irreducible parabolic subgroups of finite type introduced by Cumplido-Gebhardt-Gonz'alez-Meneses-Wiest.


A notion of non-positive curvature that provides a much stronger control over the coarse geometry of the group is the notion of hierarchically hyperbolic group (this notion was introduced by \textit{J. Behrstock}, the first and third authors in [Geom. Topol. 21, No. 3, 1731--1804 (2017; Zbl 1439.20043)] and [Pac. J. Math. 299, No. 2, 257--338 (2019; Zbl 1515.20208)]). The idea of hierarchical hyperbolicity is to describe the coarse geometry of a group using a ``coordinate system where the coordinates take values in various hyperbolic spaces. In the paper under review the authors add a large class of Artin groups to the ``naturally occurring hierarchically hyperbolic groups (Theorem A): Artin groups of large and hyperbolic type are hierarchically hyperbolic. The authors point out that Artin groups of large and hyperbolic type contain in particular all Artin groups of extra-large type (see \S 2.1 of the paper for precise definitions of these classes).
