Abstract

In this paper we study the right-angled Coxeter groups that acts geometrically on the Salvetti complex of a certain right-angled Artin group, which we refer to as Croke-Kleiner spaces. We prove that any right-angled Coxeter group that acts geometrically on the Croke-Kleiner spaces acts with π/2\pi/2 angles between reflecting axes, while the quasi-isometric right-angled Artin group can act with angles that are any real number in the range (0,π/2](0, \pi/2]. The contrast between the two examples shows that in this case a right-angled Coxeter group is geometrically more "rigid" than its quasi isometric counterpart.
