Abstract:We prove a Tits alternative theorem for subgroups of finitely presented even Artin groups of FC type, stating that there exists a finite index subgroup such that every subgroup of it is either finitely generated abelian, or maps onto a non-abelian free group.
Parabolic subgroups play a pivotal role in our proofs, and we show that parabolic subgroups of even Artin groups of FC type are closed under taking roots.
