DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/OSUGGT/17/">
 On the poly-freeness of Artin groups</a>\nby Xiaolei Wu (Bielefeld Univers
 ity) as part of Ohio State Topology and Geometric Group Theory Seminar\n\n
 \nAbstract\nArtin group is an important class of groups under intensive st
 udy in recent years. It is a generalization of the braid groups. Bestvina 
 asks whether all Artin groups are virtually poly-free. In this talk\, we f
 irst give an introduction to poly-free groups and Artin groups. We explain
  some connections with the Farrell-Jones Conjecture. Then we explain some 
 recent progress of Bestvina's question. In particular\, we will give a sho
 rt proof of the fact that Even Artin groups of FC-type are polyfree.  Part
  of this is joint work with Benjamin Brück and Dawid Kielak.\n
