Abstract
A finite simple graph Γ determines a right-angled Artin group GΓ, with one generator for each vertex v, and with one commutator relation vw = wv for each pair of vertices joined by an edge. The Bestvina-Brady group NΓ is the kernel of the projection GΓ → Z, which sends each generator v to 1. We establish precisely which graphs Γ give rise to quasi-Kahler (respectively, Kahler) groups NΓ. This yields examples of quasi-projective groups which are not commensurable (up to finite kernels) to the fundamental group of any aspherical, quasiprojective variety.
