Abstract

We give upper and lower bounds on the conformal dimension of the Bowditch boundary of a Coxeter group with defining graph a complete graph and edge labels at least three. The lower bounds are obtained by quasi-isometrically embedding Gromov's round trees in the Davis complex. The upper bounds are given by exhibiting a geometrically finite action on a CAT(-1) space and bounding the Hausdorff dimension of the visual boundary of this space. Our results imply that there are infinitely many quasi-isometry classes within each infinite family of such Coxeter groups with edge labels bounded from above. As an application, we prove there are infinitely many quasi-isometry classes among the family of hyperbolic groups with Pontryagin sphere boundary. Combining our results with work of Bourdon--Kleiner proves the conformal dimension of the boundaries of hyperbolic groups in this family achieves a dense set in (1,)(1,\infty).
