%0 Journal Article %T An introduction to right-angled Artin groups %A Ruth Charney %J Mathematics %D 2006 %I arXiv %X Recently, right-angled Artin groups have attracted much attention in geometric group theory. They have a rich structure of subgroups and nice algorithmic properties, and they give rise to cubical complexes with a variety of applications. This survey article is meant to introduce readers to these groups and to give an overview of the relevant literature. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/math/0610668v1
