Artin Parabolic Subgroup


An Artin parabolic subgroup of an Artin group A is a conjugate gA_Jg^(-1) of a standard subgroup A_J generated by a subset J of its standard generators, including A_emptyset={1}. This usage is specific to Artin groups and differs from the parabolic subgroups of algebraic groups.

The intersection of an empty family of subgroups of A is A.
