Abstract
Let be a generalized Coxeter group, which has a natural map onto one of the classical Coxeter groups, either or . Let be a natural quotient of , and if is simply-laced (which means all the relations between the generators has order 2 or 3), is a generalized Coxeter group, too . Let be a group which contains Abelian groups generated by elements. The main result in this paper is that is isomorphic to or , depends on whether the signed graph contains loops or not, or in other words C(T) is simply-laced or not, and is the number of the cycles in . This result extends the results of Rowen, Teicher and Vishne to generalized Coxeter groups which have a natural map onto one of the classical Coxeter groups.
