Tits Alternative for groups acting properly on $2$-dimensional recurrent complexes (with an appendix written jointly with Jon McCammond)

Damian Osajda,
Piotr Przytycki

Abstract: We prove the Tits Alternative for groups with a bound on the order of finite subgroups, acting properly on 2-dimensional "recurrent" complexes. This class of complexes includes, among others: 2-dimensional buildings, 2-dimensional systolic complexes, B(6)-small cancellation complexes, and standard Cayley complexes for Artin groups of extra-large type.In the appendix written jointly with Jon McCammond we extend the result to a class of 2-dimensional Artin groups containing all large-type Artin groups.

“…Note that our main Theorem also allows us to recover from a unified perspective several other known results for these groups, such as the above-mentioned Tits alternative (see [44,Corollary B]; this was proved in the extra-large case in [49]), the solubility of the conjugacy problem (also proved in [36,Corollary 1.3] for any two-dimensional Artin group), and control over their quasi-flats (see [35,Theorem 1.1] for the statement about two-dimensional Artin groups, and the closely-related [10, Theorem A] about HHGs). Moreover, we recover the fact that these groups are semi-hyperbolic, as they are coarsely Helly by [31, Thm.…”

“…Given Γ, what is (a good bound on) the asymptotic dimension of the coned-off Deligne complex? Note that our main Theorem also allows us to recover from a unified perspective several other known results for these groups, such as the above-mentioned Tits alternative (see [MP21,Corollary B]; this was proved in the extra-large case in [OP19]), the solubility of the conjugacy problem (also proved in [HO19, Corollary 1.3] for any two-dimensional Artin group), and control over their quasi-flats (see [HO17,Theorem 1.1] for the statement about two-dimensional Artin groups, and the closely-related [BHS21, Theorem A] about HHGs).

“…In particular, it is conjectured that all CAT(0) groups satisfy the Tits alternative. Several classes of CAT(0) groups have been shown to satisfy this alternative, in particular cocompactly cubulated groups [SW05], and groups acting geometrically on two-dimensional systolic complexes or buildings [OP19], but the problem remains open in general.…”
