Let $\mathcal{W}$ be the set of strongly real elements of $W$, a Coxeter group. Then for $w \in \mathcal{W}$, $e(w)$, the excess of $w$, is defined by $e(w) = \min\{\ell(x) + \ell(y) - \ell(w) \; | \; w=xy, x^2 = y^2 = 1\}$. When $W$ is…
A solution of the isomorphism problem is presented for the class of Coxeter groups W that have a finite set of Coxeter generators S such that the underlying graph of the presentation diagram of the system (W,S) has the property that every…
In this paper we introduce the galaxy of Coxeter groups -- an infinite dimensional, locally finite, ranked simplicial complex which captures isomorphisms between Coxeter systems. In doing so, we would like to suggest a new framework to…
For a finite Coxeter group $W$ and $w$ an element of $W$ the `excess' of $w$ is defined to be $e(w) = \min\{\ell(x) + \ell(y) - \ell(w) \; | \; w=xy, \; x^2 = y^2 = 1\}$ where $\ell$ is the length function on $W$. Here we investigate the…
We lay the foundations of the first-order model theory of Coxeter groups. Firstly, with the exception of the $2$-spherical non-affine case (which we leave open), we characterize the superstable Coxeter groups of finite rank, which we show…
Let $W$ be a Coxeter group and $r\in W$ a reflection. If the group of order 2 generated by $r$ is the intersection of all the maximal finite subgroups of $W$ that contain it, then any isomorphism from $W$ to a Coxeter group $W'$ must take…
In the paper we consider convex cones in infinite-dimensional real vector spaces which are endowed with no topology. The main purpose is to study an internal geometric structure of convex cones and to obtain an analytical description of…
Let (W,S) be a finite rank Coxeter system with W infinite. We prove that the limit weak order on the blocks of infinite reduced words of W is encoded by the topology of the Tits boundary of the Davis complex X of W. We consider many special…
We study Coxeter diagrams of some unitary reflection groups. Using solely the combinatorics of diagrams, we give a new proof of the classification of root lattices defined over $\cE = \ZZ[e^{2 \pi i/3}]$: there are only four such lattices,…
Let W be a Coxeter group with Coxeter generators S. The rank of the Coxeter system (W,S) is the cardinality |S| of S. The Coxeter system (W,S) has finite rank if and only if W is finitely generated. If (W,S) has infinite rank, then |S| =…
A model for a finite group is a set of linear characters of subgroups that can be induced to obtain every irreducible character exactly once. A perfect model for a finite Coxeter group is a model in which the relevant subgroups are the…
We study the geometry of warped cones over free, minimal isometric group actions and related constructions of expander graphs. We prove a rigidity theorem for the coarse geometry of such warped cones: Namely, if a group has no abelian…
By the work of Sela, for any free group $F$, the Coxeter group $W_ 3 = \mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z} \ast \mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z} \ast \mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$ is elementarily equivalent to $W_3 \ast F$, and so Coxeter groups are not closed under…
We give explicit descriptions of the adjoint group of the Coxeter quandle $Q_W$ associated with an arbitrary Coxeter group $W$. The adjoint group of $Q_W$ turns out to be an intermediate group between $W$ and the corresponding Artin group…
We study the connectivity of Morse boundaries of Coxeter groups. We define two conditions on the defining graph of a Coxeter group: wide-avoidant and wide-spherical-avoidant. We show that wide-spherical-avoidant, one-ended, affine-free…
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…
We extend properties of the weak order on finite Coxeter groups to Weyl groupoids admitting a finite root system. In particular, we determine the topological structure of intervals with respect to weak order, and show that the set of…
In this paper, we show that the center of every Coxeter group is finite and isomorphic to $(\Z_2)^n$ for some $n\ge 0$. Moreover, for a Coxeter system $(W,S)$, we prove that $Z(W)=Z(W_{S\setminus\tilde{S}})$ and $Z(W_{\tilde{S}})=1$, where…
Given a reflection $r$ in a Coxeter group $W$ (possibly of infinite rank), we consider the subgroup of $W$ generated by the reflections in $W$ having (-1)-eigenvectors orthogonal to the (-1)-eigenvector of $r$. In this paper, we determine…
For a Coxeter group $W$ with length function $\ell$, the excess zero graph $\mathcal{E}_0(W)$ has vertex set the non-identity involutions of $W$, with two involutions $x$ and $y$ adjacent whenever $\ell(xy)=\ell(x)+\ell(y)$. Properties of…
