An even Artin group is a group which has a presentation with relations of the form ( s t ) n = ( t s ) n with n ≥ 1 . With a group G we associate a Lie Z -algebra TG r ( G ) . This is the usual Lie algebra defined from the lower central series, truncated at the third rank. For each even Artin group G we determine a presentation for TG r ( G ) . By means of this presentation we obtain information about the diagram of G. We then prove an isomorphism criterion for Coxeter matrices that ensures that the diagram of G is uniquely determined by this information. Let d ≥ 2 . We show that, if two even Artin groups G and H having presentations with relations of the form ( s t ) d k = ( t s ) d k with k ≥ 0 are such that TG r ( G ) ≃ TG r ( H ) , then G and H have the same presentation up to permutation of the generators. On the other hand, we show an example of two non-isomorphic even Artin groups G and H such that TG r ( G ) ≃ TG r ( H ) .
