Homology of gaussian groups
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Volume 53 (2003) no. 2, pp. 489-540.

We describe new combinatorial methods for constructing explicit free resolutions of ℤ by ℤG-modules when G is a group of fractions of a monoid where enough lest common multiples exist ("locally Gaussian monoid"), and therefore, for computing the homology of G. Our constructions apply in particular to all Artin-Tits groups of finite Coexter type. Technically, the proofs rely on the properties of least common multiples in a monoid.

Nous décrivons de nouvelles méthodes combinatoires fournissant des résolutions explicites du module trivial par des ℤG-modules libres lorsque G est le groupe de fractions d’un monoïde possédant suffisamment de ppcm ("monoïde localement gaussien"), et donc, permettant de calculer l’homologie de G. Nos constructions s’appliquent en particulier à tous les groupes d’Artin–Tits de type de Coexeter fini. D’un point de vue technique, les démonstrations reposent sur les propriétés des ppcm dans un monoïde.
