Abstract

The A~n\widetilde{A}_n Coxeter groups are known to not be systolic or cocompactly cubulated for n3n\geq 3. We prove that these groups act geometrically on weakly modular graphs, a weak notion of nonpositive curvature generalizing the 1-skeleta of CAT(0)\mathrm{CAT}(0) cube complexes and systolic complexes. To prove weak modularity we describe the canonical emeddings of the 1-skeleta of A~n\widetilde{A}_n Coxeter complexes into the Euclidean spaces Rn+1\mathbb{R}^{n+1}. We also prove weak modularity for buildings of type A~3\widetilde{A}_3.
