Hierarchical geometry and right-angled Artin groups in graph braid groups
For the unordered discrete configuration space $\mathrm{UD}_n(\mathsf{\Gamma})$ of $n$ particles on a connected finite graph $\mathsf{\Gamma}$, we construct an explicit factor system on its universal cover. Its factors are encoded by legal pairs, namely subgraphs equipped with particle distributions. The nesting, ortho...
