Artin monoids, their homomorphisms and twins

Abstract

Motivated by the twin homomorphism problem for Coxeter groups and the corresponding Hecke monoids, we find a large class of its solutions originating from standard homomorphisms of Artin monoids and their compositions. These homomorphisms are expected to be injective when they are optimal and injective on generators, which generalizes the homogeneous homomorphisms and the famous Tits conjecture settled by Crisp and Paris. We classify disjoint standard homomorphisms and conjecture the complete classification when the domain is of rank two.
