TITLE: Roller's problem on median groups
QUESTION [8 upvotes]: At the end of his dissertation Poc Sets, Median Algebras and Group Actions, Martin Roller asks

A group $G$ is called median if it acts freely and transitively on a median algebra. This is equivalent to saying that the Cayley graph with respect to a certain set of generators is a cubing. [...] Characterize all presentations of median groups. 

Do you know any work on the subset? The only examples I am able to imagine are of the form
$$\langle x_1, \ldots, x_n \mid [x_i,x_j]=1 \ \text{and} \ x_k^2=1 \ \text{for some} \ 1 \leq i,j,k \leq n \rangle.$$
Are there other simple examples?

REPLY [4 votes]: Below are a few examples of groups admitting a median graph as a Cayley graph. (About the terminology "median groups", notice the possible confusion with groups acting geometrically on median spaces.)

Right-angled Artin groups. Given a (simplicial) graph $\Gamma$, define $$A(\Gamma)= \langle \text{vertices of $\Gamma$} \mid [u,v]=1, \ (u,v) \in E(\Gamma) \rangle.$$ Then the Cayley graph of $A(\Gamma)$ with respect to the generating set given by the previous presentation is median graph, or if you prefer, it is naturally the one-skeleton of a CAT(0) cube complex.
Right-angled Coxeter groups. The same comment holds for the group $$\langle \text{vertices of $\Gamma$} \mid u^2=1 \ (\text{$u$ vertex}), \ [u,v]=1 \ (\text{$u,v$ adjacent}) \rangle$$
LOG groups. Given an oriented graph $\Gamma$ whose edges are labelled by its vertices (such that any vertex labels at most one edge), one can define the group $$G(\Gamma)= \langle \text{vertices of $\Gamma$} \mid cac^{-1}=b, \ (a \mid c \mid b) \in E(\Gamma) \rangle$$ where $(a \mid c \mid b) \in E(\Gamma)$ means that there exists an oriented edge from $a$ to $b$ which is labelled by $c$. In his paper On the realization of Wirtinger presentations as knot groups, Rosebrock determines precisely when the square complex associated to the above presentation is nonpositively curved.
C(4)-T(4) presentations. For any C(4)-T(4) presentation whose relations have length four, the corresponding two-complex is a nonpositively curved square complex.
Right-angled mock reflection groups. In his paper Right-angled mock reflection and mock Artin groups, Scott classifies explicitely all the groups acting vertex-simply-transitively on CAT(0) cube complexes with $\mathbb{Z}_2$ edge-stabilisers.
Right-angled mock Artin groups. In the same way that a right-angled Artin group may be associated to a right-angled Coxeter group, Scott introduced right-angled mock Artin groups from right-angled mock reflection groups.
BMW-groups. In addition to Mark's answer, I would like to mention Caprace's survey Finite and infinite quotients of discrete and indiscrete groups (Section 4, Lattices in products of trees after M. Burger, S. Mozes and D. Wise).
