A series of word-hyperbolic Coxeter groups

Abstract

For each positive integer kk we present an example of Coxeter system (Gk,Sk)(G_k,S_k) such that GkG_k is a word-hyperbolic Coxeter group, for any two generating reflections s,tSks,t\in S_k the product stst has finite order, and the Coxeter graph of SkS_k has negative inertia index equal to kk. In particular, GkG_k cannot be embedded into pseudo-orthogonal group O(n,k1)O(n,k-1) for any nn as a reflection group with generating set being reflections w.r.t. (Gk,Sk)(G_k,S_k)
