Conjugacy invariants and rigidity in Garside groups: a uniformity phenomenon

Matthieu Calvez, Owen Garnier, Juan González-Meneses +1

Consider an element~ of a Garside group which is rigid in the sense of Garside-theory. Let be the set of rigid conjugates of~ -- this is a well-known characteristic s…

Morse elements in Garside groups are strongly contracting

Matthieu Calvez, Bert Wiest

We prove that in the Cayley graph of any braid group modulo its center , equipped with Garside's generating set, the axes of all pseudo-Anosov braids are strongly contr…

Euclidean Artin-Tits groups are acylindrically hyperbolic

Matthieu Calvez

In this paper we show the statement in the title. To any Garside group of finite type, Wiest and the author associated a hyperbolic graph called the \emph{additional length graph}…

Curve graphs for Artin-Tits groups of type , and are hyperbolic

Matthieu Calvez, Bruno A. Cisneros de la Cruz

The \emph{graph of irreducible parabolic subgroups} is a combinatorial object associated to an Artin-Tits group defined so as to coincide with the curve graph of the -ti…

Hyperbolic structures for Artin-Tits groups of spherical type

Matthieu Calvez, Bert Wiest

The goal of this mostly expository paper is to present several candidates for hyperbolic structures on irreducible Artin-Tits groups of spherical type and to elucidate some relatio…

Conjugacy stability of parabolic subgroups of Artin-Tits groups of spherical type

Matthieu Calvez, Bruno Cisneros, María Cumplido

We give a complete classification of conjugacy stable parabolic subgroups of Artin-Tits groups of spherical type. This answers a question posed by Ivan Marin and generalizes a theo…

Acylindrical hyperbolicity and Artin-Tits groups of spherical type

Matthieu Calvez, Bert Wiest

We prove that, for any irreducible Artin-Tits group of spherical type , the quotient of by its center is acylindrically hyperbolic. This is achieved by studying the addition…

Curve complexes and Garside groups

Matthieu Calvez, Bert Wiest

We present a simple construction which associates to every Garside group a metric space, called the additional length complex, on which the group acts. These spaces share important…

Garside-theoretic analysis of Burau representations

Matthieu Calvez, Tetsuya Ito

We establish relations between both the classical and the dual Garside structures of the braid group and the Burau representation. Using the classical structure, we formulate a non…

A fast solution to the conjugacy problem in the 4-strand braid group

Matthieu Calvez, Bert Wiest

We present an algorithm for solving the conjugacy search problem in the four strand braid group. The computational complexity is cubic with respect to the braid length.

Dual Garside structure and reducibility of braids

Matthieu Calvez

Benardete, Gutierrez and Nitecki showed an important result which relates the geometrical properties of a braid, as a homeomorphism of the punctured disk, to its algebraic Garside-…

Fast algorithmic Nielsen-Thurston classification of four-strand braids

Matthieu Calvez, Bert Wiest

We give an algorithm which decides the Nielsen-Thurston type of a given four-strand braid. The complexity of our algorithm is quadratic with respect to word length. The proof of it…
