We give a combinatorial description (including explicit differential-form bases) for the cohomology groups of the space of n distinct nonzero complex numbers, with coefficients in rank-one local systems which are of finite monodromy around…
For any Coxeter group W, we define a filtration of H^*(W;ZW) by W-submodules and then compute the associated graded terms. More generally, if U is a CW complex on which W acts as a reflection group we compute the associated graded terms for…
In this paper we provide a framework for the study of isoperimetric problems in finitely generated group, through a combinatorial study of universal covers of compact simplicial complexes. We show that, when estimating filling functions,…
We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a linear reflection group in the sense of Vinberg to be Zariski-dense in the ambient projective general linear group. As an application, we show that every irreducible right-angled Coxeter…
Through highly non-constructive methods, works by Bestvina, Culler, Feighn, Morgan, Paulin, Rips, Shalen, and Thurston show that if a finitely presented group does not split over a virtually solvable subgroup, then the space of its discrete…
To any finite graph $X$ (viewed as a topological space) we assosiate some explicit compact metric space ${\cal X}^r(X)$ which we call {\it the reflection tree of graphs $X$}. This space is of topological dimension $\le1$ and its connected…
The invariants of finite-dimensional representations of simple Lie algebras, such as even-degree indices and anomaly numbers, are considered in the context of the non-crystallographic finite reflection groups $H_2$, $H_3$ and $H_4$. Using a…
A Coxeter group W is called reflection independent if its reflections are uniquely determined by W only, independently on the choice of the generating set. We give a new sufficient condition for the reflection independence, and examine this…
We initiate the study of holomorphically convex groups: groups that can be realized as fundamental groups of smooth complex projective varieties with holomorphically convex universal covers. If $G$ is a holomorphically convex group of…
We consider the automorphism groups of various Lorentzian lattices over the Eisenstein, Gaussian, and Hurwitz integers, and in some of them we find reflection groups of finite index. These provide new finite-covolume reflection groups…
We show that the projectivized complex reflection group $\Gamma$ of the unique $(1+i)$-modular Hermitian $\mathbb{Z}[i]$-module of signature $(9,1)$ is a new arithmetic reflection group in $PU(9,1)$. We find $32$ complex reflections of…
Working over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $0$, we show that the motivic stable homotopy groups of the sphere spectrum can be determined entirely from the motivic homotopy groups of the $p$-completed sphere spectra and…
While lattices in semi-simple Lie groups are studied very well, only little is known about discrete subgroups of infinite covolume. The main class of examples are Schottky groups. Here we investigate some new examples. We consider subgroups…
We prove that every finitely presented self-similar group embeds in a finitely presented simple group. This establishes that every group embedding in a finitely presented self-similar group satisfies the Boone-Higman conjecture. The simple…
We associate cube complexes called completions to each subgroup of a right-angled Coxeter group (RACG). A completion characterizes many properties of the subgroup such as whether it is quasiconvex, normal, finite-index or torsion-free. We…
We study, characterize, and enumerate the admissible pinnacle sets of nonexceptional complex reflection groups $G(m,p,n)$, which include all generalized symmetric groups $\mathbb{Z}_m \wr S_n$ as special cases. This generalizes the work of…
Multitriangulations, and more generally subword complexes, yield a large family of simplicial complexes that are homeomorphic to spheres. Until now, all attempts to prove or disprove that they can be realized as convex polytopes faced major…
We prove that a finite complex reflection group has a generalized involution model, as defined by Bump and Ginzburg, if and only if each of its irreducible factors is either $G(r,p,n)$ with $\gcd(p,n)=1$; $G(r,p,2)$ with $r/p$ odd; or…
Given an irreducible well-generated complex reflection group W with Coxeter number h, we call a Coxeter element any regular element (in the sense of Springer) of order h in W; this is a slight extension of the most common notion of Coxeter…
We construct projective unitary representations of the smooth Deligne cohomology group of a compact oriented Riemannian manifold of dimension 4k+1, generalizing positive energy representations of the loop group of the circle. We also…
