Comments are welcome", "categories": [ "math.GR" ], "abstract": "The main result of this article is that any braided (resp. annular, planar) diagram group $D$ splits as a short exact sequence $1 \\to R \\to D \\to S \\to 1$ where $R$ is a subgroup of some right-angled Artin group and $S$ a subgroup of Thompson's group $V$ (resp. $T$, $F$). As an application, we show that several braided diagram groups embeds into Thompson's group $V$, including Higman's groups $V_{n,r}$, groups of quasi-automorphisms $QV_{n,r,p}$, and generalised Houghton's groups $H_{n,p}$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-09-12T14:53:27.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20F65", "05C25" ], "keywords": [ "thompsons group", "quasi-median geometry", "embeddings", "short exact sequence", "braided diagram groups embeds" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 34, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
