The existence of metrics of nonpositive curvature on the Brady-Krammer complexes for finite-type Artin groups

My dissertation focuses on the existence of metrics of non-positive curvature for the simplicial complexes constructed recently by Tom Brady and Daan Krammer for the braid groups and other Artin groups of finite type. In particular, for each Artin group of finite type, there is a...
