Embedding Right-Angled Artin Groups into Mapping Class Groups
Date:
This is the “3+X” seminar on CAT(0) Cube Complexes, organized by Prof. Yi Liu, Prof. Jiajun Wang, and Prof. Wenyuan Yang in 2026 Spring at Peking University. The reference is mainly P. Schwer’s CAT(0) Cube Complexes: An Introduction.
I presented part of J. Crisp and B. Wiest’s result on how to embed right-angled Artin groups into mapping class groups. The reference is J. Crisp and B. Wiest’s Quasi-isometrically embedded subgroups of braid and diffeomorphism groups.
