The fixed-point conjecture for elliptic subgroups of Artin groups

Let AΓA_\Gamma be an Artin group, let CΓC_\Gamma be its associated clique-cube complex, and let

Φ ⁣:AΓIsom(CΓ)\Phi\colon A_\Gamma\to {\rm Isom}(C_\Gamma)

be the action by left multiplication. For a subgroup HAΓH\subset A_\Gamma, write Fix(Φ(H)){\rm Fix}(\Phi(H)) for the common fixed-point set. The elliptic fixed-point conjecture. If Φ(h)\Phi(h) is elliptic for every hHh\in H, then

Fix(Φ(H)),{\rm Fix}(\Phi(H))\ne\emptyset,

and consequently Φ(H)\Phi(H) is contained in a complete parabolic subgroup. The result is known for finitely generated groups acting on finite-dimensional CAT(0)(0) cube complexes by elliptic isometries; this conjecture concerns arbitrary subgroups of Artin groups.
