Commensurability of lattices in right-angled buildings
Abstract
Let be a graph product of finite groups, with finite underlying graph, and let be the associated right-angled building. We prove that a uniform lattice in the cubical automorphism group Aut is weakly commensurable to if and only if all convex subgroups of are separable. As a corollary, any two finite special cube complexes with universal cover have a common finite cover. An important special case of our theorem is where is a right-angled Coxeter group and is the associated Davis complex. We also obtain an analogous result for right-angled Artin groups. In addition, we deduce quasi-isometric rigidity for the group when has the structure of a Fuchsian building.
