Subgroups of even Artin groups of FC-type (2305.17292v1)

Abstract: We prove a Tits alternative theorem for subgroups of finitely generated even Artin groups of FC type (EAFC groups), 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 key role, and we show that parabolic subgroups of EAFC groups are closed under taking roots.
