Abstract

Let ${\Gamma}$ be a graph which contains two vertices $a$, $b$ with the same link. For the case where the link has less than 3 vertices, we prove that if the right-angled Artin group A(${\Gamma}$) contains a hyperbolic surface subgroup, then A(${\Gamma}$-{a}) contains a hyperbolic surface subgroup. Moreover, we also show that the same result holds with certain restrictions for the case where the link has more than or equal to 3 vertices.
