Abstract |
|
We prove that an arbitrary right-angled Artin group admits a quasi-isometric group embedding into a right-angled Artin group defined by the opposite graph of a tree, and, consequently, into a pure braid group. It follows that is a quasi-isometrically embedded subgroup of the area-preserving diffeomorphism groups of the –disk and of the –sphere with –metrics for suitable . Another corollary is that there exists a closed hyperbolic manifold group of each dimension which admits a quasi-isometric group embedding into a pure braid group. Finally, we show that the isomorphism problem, conjugacy problem, and membership problem are unsolvable in the class of finitely presented subgroups of braid groups. |
