Topology Seminar: Thomas Koberda
Topic
Anti-trees and right-angled Artin subgroups of planar braid groups
Speakers
Details
We discuss a result which shows that every right-angled Artin group quasi-isometrically embeds in a planar pure braid group. As a consequence, we obtain examples of quasi-isometrically embedded closed hyperbolic manifold subgroups of pure braid groups in all dimensions. We also give some applications to decision problems in braid group theory. This represents joint work with Sang-hyun Kim.
