Embeddings into Thompson's groups from quasi-median geometry (Q2286359)

Summary: The main result of this article is that any braided (resp. annular, planar) diagram group \(D\) splits as a short exact sequence \(1 \to R \to D \to S \to 1\) where \(R\) is a subgroup of some right-angled Artin group and \(S\) a subgroup of Thompson's group \(V\) (resp. \(T, F\)). As an application, we show that several braided diagram groups embed into Thompson's group \(V\), including Higman's groups \(V_{n,r}\), groups of quasi-automorphisms \(QV_{n,r,p}\), and generalised Houghton's groups \(H_{n,p}\).
