Updated to incorporate referee comments", "categories": [ "math.GR" ], "abstract": "We prove a new version of the classical peak-reduction theorem for automorphisms of free groups in the setting of right-angled Artin groups. We use this peak-reduction theorem to prove two important corollaries about the action of the automorphism group of a right-angled Artin group $A_\\Gamma$ on the set of $k$-tuples of conjugacy classes from $A_\\Gamma$: orbit membership is decidable, and stabilizers are finitely presentable. Further, we explain procedures for checking orbit membership and building presentations of stabilizers. This improves on a previous result of the author's. We overcome a technical difficulty from the previous work by considering infinite generating sets for the automorphism groups. The method also involves a variation on the Hermite normal form for matrices.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v5", "updated": "2013-11-19T18:38:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20F36", "20F28" ], "keywords": [ "right-angled artin group", "full-featured peak reduction", "automorphism group", "hermite normal form", "important corollaries" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 72, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1211.0078D" } } }
