OGGW02 - Actions on graphs and metric spaces

The K(pi,1)-conjecture, due to Arnold, Brieskorn, Pham, and Thom, predicts that for each Artin group, the space of regular orbits of a canonical action of the associated Coxeter group is a classifying space for this Artin group. We sketch a proof of the K(pi,1)-conjecture for all 3-dimensional Artin groups (as well as some higher dimensional ones), which is based on a new notion of combinatorial non-positive curvature. This is joint work with Piotr Przytycki.
