As part of the Lectorium on Algebraic Graph Theory, a new mini-course begins

The next mini-course of lectures will be called "Right-angled Artin groups and the R-infinity property". It will be read by Pieter Senden.

Pieter Senden is a talented young researcher who received his master's degree in 2019 from KU Leuven (Belgium) under the guidance of Prof. Karel Dekimpe. After completing his master's program, he received a PhD position funded by the Flanders Research Foundation. He is currently completing his PhD at the KU Leuven University at the Kulak Kortrijk campus.

In this mini-course, we explore the relationship between the properties of Right-angled Artin groups (RAAG) and the properties of their defining graphs, which we then use to explore the properties of R-infinity for RAAG. In the first part, we will define RAAG and provide a (non-exhaustive) vocabulary to understand how graph theoretical properties translate to algebraic group properties and vice versa. In the second part, we define twisted conjugacy and the R-infinity property, after which we use the above vocabulary to prove that some RAAG families have the R-infinity property. Of course, both parts will be illustrated with specific examples.
