Abstract

In this paper, we study growth rates of Coxeter systems with Davis complexes of dimension at most 22. We show that if the Euler characteristic χ\chi of the nerve of a Coxeter system is vanishing (resp. positive), then its growth rate is a Salem (resp. a Pisot) number. In this way, we extend results due to Floyd and Parry. Moreover, in the case where χ\chi is negative, we provide infinitely many non-hyperbolic Coxeter systems whose growth rates are Perron numbers.
