Classifying spaces for families of abelian subgroups of braid groups, RAAGs and graphs of abelian groups (Q6634401)

For a group $G$ and a family $\mathcal{F}$ of subgroups of $G$ let $gd_{\mathcal{F}}G$ denote the minimal dimension of a model for the classifying space $E_{\mathcal{F}}G$ w.r.t the family $\mathcal{F}$.\N\NHere the author shows that if $G$ is a virtually free abelian of rank $n$ group and $\mathcal{F}_k$ the family of virtually free abelian subgroups of $G$ of rank at most $k$, $0\leq k<n$, then the Bredon cohomology w.r.t the family $\mathcal{F}_k$ is non-trivial in dimension $n+k$, which implies that $gd_{\mathcal{F}_k}G=n+k$.\N\NThis answers question 2.7 of \textit{G. Corob Cook} et al. [Homology Homotopy Appl. 19, No. 2, 83--87 (2017; Zbl 1388.18028)].\N\NAs an application the author computes $gd_{\mathcal{F}_n}G$, for braid groups, right-angled Artin groups, and graphs of groups whose vertex groups are infinite finitely generated virtually abelian groups, for all $n\geq2$.
