Braid groups; Artin groups (20F36)

Abstract: Twin groups and virtual twin groups are planar analogues of braid groups and virtual braid groups, respectively. These groups play the role of braid groups in the Alexander-Markov correspondence for the theory of stable isotopy classes of immersed circles on surfaces. In this paper, we show that there exists an irreducible right-angled Coxeter group $K{T}_n$ inside the virtual twin group $V{T}_n$ on $nge2$ strands and that $K{T}_n$ contains the twin group $T_n$. As a consequence, it follows that the twin group $T_n$ embeds inside the virtual twin group $V{T}_n$, which is an analogue of a similar result for braid groups. The group $K{T}_n$ is further used to obtain a complete description of homomorphisms between virtual twin groups and symmetric groups. As an application, we obtain the precise structure of the automorphism group of $V{T}_n$.
