The world of graph braid groups

Abstract: Graph braid groups are fundamental groups of special, non-positively curved cube complexes. As a result, they are interesting groups sharing some properties with classical braid groups, right-angled Artin groups, and more. In this talk I will explore various examples illustrating the complicated but beautiful nature of graph braid groups.
