Daily Inspiration: "Have you ever thought that perhaps you have been looking in the wrong direction, at the wrong time, at the wrong threat?" - Futurist Jim Carroll
The story that unfolds today involves my 2004 book, "What I Learned from Frogs in Texas," and it's pretty exciting - at least for me. That's because today I am in the exact location where this business parable involving the frogs unfolded - The Woodlands Resort in Houston!
It's kind of …

Well, now the crypto bros are blocking DOE.

Graphical splittings of Artin kernels
We study Artin kernels, i.e. kernels of discrete characters of right-angled Artin groups, and we show that they decompose as graphs of groups in a way that can be explicitly computed from the underlying graph. When the underlying graph is chordal we show that every such subgroup either surjects to an infinitely generated free group or is a generalized Baumslag-Solitar group of variable rank. In particular for block graphs (e.g. trees), we obtain an explicit rank formula, and discuss some featur…
