DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/GaTO/95/">Re
 sidual finiteness of generalized Bestvina-Brady groups</a>\nby Ian Leary (
 University of Southampton) as part of Geometry and topology online\n\nLect
 ure held in Room B3.02 in the Zeeman Building\, University of Warwick.\n\n
 Abstract\nI discovered/created generalized Bestvina-Brady groups to give a
 n uncountable family of groups with surprising homological properties.  In
  this talk\, I will introduce the groups and address the following questio
 ns: when are they virtually torsion-free? when are they residually finite?
  This leads naturally to a third question: when do they virtually embed in
  right-angled Artin groups? There are nice conjectural answers to all thre
 e questions\, which we have proved in some cases.\n\nThis is joint work wi
 th Vladimir Vankov.\n
