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.

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.

Small Cancellation Theory

This paper provides a strengthening of the theorems of small cancellation theory. It is proven that disc diagrams contain 'fans' of consecutive 2-cells along their boundaries. The size of these fans is linked to the strength of the small cancellation conditions satisfied by the diagram. A classification result is proven for disc diagrams satisfying small cancellation conditions. Any disc diagram either contains three fans along its boundary, or it is a ladder, or it is a wheel. Similar statements are proven for annular diagrams. 2000 Mathematical Subject Classification: 20F06.
