Alg., Droms proved that all the subgroups of a right-angled Artin group (RAAG) defined by a finite simplicial graph $\\Gamma$ are themselves RAAGs if, and only if, $\\Gamma$ has no induced square graph nor line-graph of length $3$. The present work provides a similar result for specific normal subgroups of RAAGs, called Bestvina-Brady groups: We characterize those graphs in which every subgroup of such a group is itself a RAAG. In turn, we confirm several Galois theoretic conjectures for the pro-$p$ completions of these groups.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2025-02-05T14:30:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20F65", "05C35", "17B56" ], "keywords": [ "bestvina-brady groups", "finite simplicial graph", "specific normal subgroups", "galois theoretic conjectures", "similar result" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
