Graph braid groups and right-angled Artin groups.

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a graph to have a right-angled Artin group as its braid group for braid index ge5. In order to have the necessity part, graphs are organized into small classes so that one of homological or cohomological characteristics of right-angled Artin groups can be applied. Finally we show that a given graph is planar iff the first homology of its 2-braid group is torsion-free and leave the corresponding statement for n-braid groups as a conjecture along with few other conjectures about graphs whose braid groups of index le4 are right-angled Artin groups.
