Effective quasimorphisms on right-angled Artin groups
[Quasimorphismes efficaces sur les groupes d’Artin à angle droit]
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Tome 69 (2019) no. 4, pp. 1575-1626.

Nous construisons des nouvelles familles de quasi-morphismes sur de nombreux groupes agissant sur des complexes cubiques CAT(0). Ces quasi-morphismes ont leur défaut majoré par 12, et sont suffisamment nombreux pour « voir » tous les éléments qui agissent de manière hyperbolique sur le complexe cubique. Nous déduisons que la longueur stable des commutateurs de tous ces éléments est minorée par 1/24.

Les actions pour lesquelles ces résultats sont vérifiés comprennent l’action standard d’un groupe d’Artin à angles droits sur son complexe cubique associé. En particulier, la longueur stable des commutateurs de tout élément non trivial d’un groupe d’Artin à angles droits est minorée par 1/24.

Ces résultats reposent sur de nouveaux outils que nous développons pour étudier les actions de groupes sur des complexes cubiques CAT(0) : l’ensemble caractéristique essentiel et les plongements euclidiens équivariants.

We construct families of quasimorphisms on many groups acting on CAT(0) cube complexes. These quasimorphisms have a uniformly bounded defect of 12, and they “see” all elements that act hyperbolically on the cube complex. We deduce that all such elements have stable commutator length at least 1/24.

The group actions for which these results apply include the standard actions of right-angled Artin groups on their associated CAT(0) cube complexes. In particular, every non-trivial element of a right-angled Artin group has stable commutator length at least 1/24.

These results make use of some new tools that we develop for the study of group actions on CAT(0) cube complexes: the essential characteristic set and equivariant Euclidean embeddings.
