Abstract

In this note we give two examples of partially commutative subgroups of partially commutative groups. Our examples are counterexamples to the Extension Graph Conjecture and to the Weakly Chordal Conjecture of Kim and Koberda. On the other hand we extend the class of partially commutativegroups for which it is known that the Extension Graph Conjecture holds, toinclude those with commutation graph containing no induced C_4 or P_3. In the process, some new embeddings of surface groups into partially commutative groups emerge.
