Second mod 2 homology of Artin groups (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
After a brief survey on the K($\pi$,1) conjecture and homology of Artin groups, I will introduce our recent result: we determined second mod 2 homology of arbitrary Artin groups without assuming the K($\pi$,1)-conjecture. The key ingredients are Hopf's formula and a result of Howlett on Schur multipliers of Coxeter groups. This is a joint work with Ye Liu.
