Artin groups' algebraic and K(π,1)K(\pi,1) conjectures

Let Γ\Gamma be a finite simplicial graph, and let AΓA_{\Gamma} be the Artin group with generators the vertices of Γ\Gamma and braid relations determined by its edge coefficients. Call AΓA_{\Gamma} spherical when its associated Coxeter group is finite, and non-spherical otherwise.

Artin groups' algebraic and K(π,1)K(\pi,1) conjectures. For every Artin group AΓA_{\Gamma}: (1) AΓA_{\Gamma} has solvable word and conjugacy problems; (2) AΓA_{\Gamma} is torsion-free; (3) the centre of AΓA_{\Gamma} is trivial if AΓA_{\Gamma} is non-spherical and infinite cyclic if AΓA_{\Gamma} is spherical; and (4) AΓA_{\Gamma} satisfies the K(π,1)K(\pi,1) conjecture.

These conjectures are known for spherical Artin groups, Artin groups of type FC, and Artin groups of dimension 22, but remain open in general.
