Abstract

We determine the epimorphisms A W from the Artin group A of type Γ onto the Coxeter group W of type Γ, in case Γ is an irreducible Coxeter graph of spherical type, and we prove that the kernel of the standard epimorphism is a characteristic subgroup of A. This generalizes an over 50 years old result of Artin.
