Artin groups form an important class of groups that generalize
braid groups. However, many problems remain open in general for these
groups. This talk will focus on recent advancements to understand the
geometry and structure of Artin groups in terms of their parabolic
subgroups. In particular, we will look at the geometric realization of
the poset of strict parabolic subgroups, which has recently been shown
to have systolic geometry in the case of large type Artin groups by
Cumplido, Martin, and Vaskou. We can then use this geometry to show that
the set of parabolic subgroups of a large type Artin group is stable
under arbitrary intersections and forms a lattice under inclusion.
