The Natural Embedding of Positive Singular Artin Monoids

Pages 3329-3346 | Received 15 Apr 2005, Published online: 23 Nov 2006
 

Abstract

We explore some combinatorial properties of singular Artin monoids and invoke them to prove that a positive singular Artin monoid of arbitrary Coxeter type necessarily injects into the corresponding singular Artin monoid. This is an extension of L. Pari' result that positive Artin monoids embed in the correpsonding Artin groups: Adjoining inverses of the generators does not produce any new identities between words that do not involve those inverses.

Notes

1The reader is referred to Fenn et al. (Citation1996, Proposition 5.1) for a (geometric) proof of this result, when M = A n , without calling forth the embedding of (B n+1 =) G A n into a group.
