Trivial Center

It is conjectured that an irreducible Artin group which is of infinite type has trivial center. The conjecture is known to be true for two-dimensional Artin groups and for a few other types of Artin groups. In this work, we show that the conjecture holds true for Artin groups which satisfy a condition stronger than being of infinite type. We use small cancellation theory of relative presentations.

AbstractBy a result of Gersten and Short finite presentations satisfying the usual non-metric small cancellation conditions present biautomatic groups. We show that in the case in which all pieces have length 1, a generalization of the C(3)-T(6) condition yields a larger collection of biautomatic groups.

Small Cancellation Condition

SynopsisSmall cancellation theory has been extended to symmetrized subsets of free products, amalgamated free products and Higman-Neumann-Neumann (H.N.N.) extensions. We though that it was possible to obtain results on decision problems if we could define small cancellation conditions for finite subsets.Sacerdote and Schupp (1974) defined the small cancellation condition C'(l/6) for symmetrized subsets of an H.N.N. extension. We define this condition for finite subsets, with the following properties:For each finite subset X, there is a symmetrized subset X1 with the same normal closure and, if X1 satisfies C'(l/6), then X satisfies C'(l/6).For some H.N.N. extensions, we can decide whether any finite subset satisfies C'(l/6), and, in this case, we can solve the word problem for the corresponding quotient.

Alternating Link

We show that the Wirtinger presentation of a prime alternating link group satisfies a generalized small cancellation condition. This new version of Weinbaum's solution to the word and conjugacy problems for these groups easily extends to finite sums of alternating links.
