Abstract: Recently, right-angled Artin groups have attracted much attention in geometric group theory. They have a rich structure of subgroups and nice algorithmic properties, and they give rise to cubical complexes with a variety of applications. This survey article is meant to introduce readers to these groups and to give an overview of the relevant literature.

Review text

This survey article provides a readable introduction to the non-expert and serves as a welcome summary for the experts in the field. Artin groups are introduced as generalizations of braid groups. Essential properties of right-angled Artin groups and the cube complexes associated to them are reviewed before some areas of current research on automorphisms of right-angled Artin groups are laid out. Key examples are provided and key theorems are stated (without proof), applications are touched upon. History and development of the subject are supported by a bibliography comprising 81 entries.
