For a finite graph $\Gamma$, its Right-angled Artin group isIts Salvetti complex $S_{\Gamma }$ is the one-vertex cube complex with an oriented loop labelled $v$ for each vertex of $\Gamma$, a square torus for every edge, and more generally one cubulated $k$-torus for every $k$-clique, attached compatibly along coordinate subtori. Thus ${\pi }_1(S_{\Gamma })\cong A_{\Gamma }$. The vertex link of a Salvetti complex is flag, so $S_{\Gamma }$ is a nonpositively curved cube complex.
