The action dimension of right‐angled Artin groups

Abstract: The action dimension of a discrete group Γ is the smallest dimension of a contractible manifold which admits a proper action of Γ. Associated to any flag complex L there is a right-angled Artin group, A L . We compute the action dimension of A L for many L. Our calculations come close to confirming the conjecture that if an ℓ 2 -Betti number of A L in degree l is nonzero, then the action dimension of A L is ≥ 2l.

“…Its octahedralization OK is defined to be the inverse image of K in O(V): OK:=p1false(Kfalse)Ofalse(Vfalse).Thus, each simplex of OK is of the form (σ,ε), where σ is a simplex of K and ε:Vertσ{±1} is a function. (This terminology comes from or [, § 8].) We also say that OK is the result of doubling the vertices of K.…”

“…The main results of concern the van Kampen obstruction prefixvkZ/2mfalse(OKfalse) of an octahedralization. From a nonzero Z/2‐cycle MZkfalse(K;double-struckZ/2false) and a k‐simplex normalΔ in the support of M, one produces a 2k‐chain ΩC2kfalse(scriptC(OK);double-struckZ/2false) on which one can evaluate the van Kampen obstruction.…”
