Description
Abstract I will survey some classical and some more modern results in the theory of right-angled Artin groups and their subgroups, as these have been of central importance in geometric group theory and hyperbolic geometry in recent years. I will concentrate on hyperbolic subgroups and on right-angled Artin subgroups of other right-angled Artin groups, following the work of Droms, Servatius, Wise, Agol, Casals-Ruiz, Kazachkov, Kim, Clay, Leininger, Mangahas, and others.
