The \(K(\pi, 1)\) conjecture and acylindrical hyperbolicity for relatively extra-large Artin groups (Q6593002)

Let \(A_{\Gamma}=\langle S \rangle\) be the Artin group with defining graph \(\Gamma=(S,V)\). Then \(A_{\Gamma}\) is the fundamental group of a space \(N(W)\) which is the quotient of a complement of a certain complexified hyperplane arrangement by a natural \(W_{\Gamma}\)-action. The \(K(\pi,1)\)-conjecture states that \(N(W)\) is aspherical.\N\NIn the paper under review, the author introduces the notion of \(A_{\Gamma}\) being extra-large relative to a family of arbitrary parabolic subgroups. This generalizes a related notion of \(A_{\Gamma}\) being extra-large relative to two parabolic subgroups, one of which is always large type. Under this new condition, the author shows that \(A_{\Gamma}\) satisfies the \(K(\pi,1)\)-conjecture whenever each of the distinguished subgroups do. In addition, she shows that \(A_{\Gamma}\) is acylindrically hyperbolic under only mild conditions.
