Abstract/Summary:
We consider 2-dimensional right-angled Artin groups with connected defining graphs. We prove that proper, cocompact, minimal actions of such groups on 2-dimensional CAT(0) cubical complexes are determined by their associated translation length functions. This can be viewed as a higher dimensional analog of a result by Culler and Morgan for free groups acting on trees.
