Réseaux de Coxeter-Davis et commensurateurs

Frédéric Haglund (1998)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

For each integer k 6 and each finite graph L , we construct a Coxeter group W and a non positively curved polygonal complex A on which W acts properly cocompactly, such that each polygon of A has k edges, and the link of each vertex of A is isomorphic to L . If L is a “generalized m -gon”, then A is a Tits building modelled on a reflection group of the hyperbolic plane. We give a condition on Aut ( L ) for Aut ( A ) to be non enumerable (which is satisfied if L is a thick classical generalized m -gon). On the other hand,...

R-trees and the Bieri-Neumann-Strebel invariant.

Gilbert Levitt (1994)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Let G be a finitely generated group. We give a new characterization of its Bieri-Neumann-Strebel invariant Σ(G), in terms of geometric abelian actions on R-trees. We provide a proof of Brown's characterization of Σ(G) by exceptional abelian actions of G, using geometric methods.

Salvetti complex, spectral sequences and cohomology of Artin groups

Filippo Callegaro (2014)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

The aim of this short survey is to give a quick introduction to the Salvetti complex as a tool for the study of the cohomology of Artin groups. In particular we show how a spectral sequence induced by a filtration on the complex provides a very natural and useful method to study recursively the cohomology of Artin groups, simplifying many computations. In the last section some examples of applications are presented.
