Title: Two-dimensional Artin groups and metric systolicity.

This is joint work with Jingyin Huang (OSU). We define a metrically systolic complex as flag simplicial complex with a given metric on their two-skeleton satisfying some local conditions. I will present few features of such complexes resembling the ones of non-positively curved spaces. Then I will talk about two-dimensional Artin groups, metrically systolic complexes they act on, and consequences of admitting such actions. One of them is solvability of the conjugacy problem for Artin groups in question and for all their finitely presented subgroups.
