Abstract: The homology of a Garside monoid, thus of a Garside group, can be computed efficiently through the use of the order complex defined by Dehornoy and Lafont. We construct a categorical generalization of this complex and we give some computational techniques which are useful for reducing computing time. We then use this construction to complete results of Salvetti, Callegaro and Marin regarding the homology of exceptional complex braid groups. We most notably study the case of the Borchardt braid group $B(G_{31})$ through its associated Garside category.

Review text

The homology of a Garside monoid, thus of a Garside group, can be computed efficiently through the use of the order complex defined by \textit{P. Dehornoy} and \textit{Y. Lafont} [Ann. Inst. Fourier 53, No. 2, 489--540 (2003; Zbl 1100.20036)]. In the paper under review the author constructs a categorical generalization of this complex and he gives some computational techniques which are useful for reducing computing time. Then the author uses this construction to complete results of \textit{M. Salvetti} [Math. Res. Lett. 1, No. 5, 565--577 (1994; Zbl 0847.55011)] and \textit{F. Callegaro} and \textit{I. Marin} [J. Eur. Math. Soc. (JEMS) 16, No. 1, 103--164 (2014; Zbl 1302.20049)] regarding the homology of exceptional complex braid groups. Furthermore, he studies the case of the Borchardt braid group \(B(G_{31})\) through its associated Garside category.
