Let Cl1(1,3) and Cl2(1,3) be the subsets of elements of the Clifford algebra Cl(1,3) of ranks 1 and 2 respectively. Recently it was proved that the subset Cl2(p,q)+iCl1(p,q) of the complex Clifford algebra can be considered as a Lie…
It is known that splittings of finitely presented groups over 2-ended groups can be characterized geometrically. We show that this characterization does not extend to all finitely generated groups. Answering a question of Kleiner we show…
We prove that Artin groups from a class containing all large-type Artin groups are systolic. This provides a concise yet precise description of their geometry. Immediate consequences are new results concerning large-type Artin groups:…
In this paper, we study the twist-conjecture for Coxeter systems and rigidity of Coxeter systems up to finite twists. For Coxeter systems $(W,R)$ and $(W,S)$, under the untangle-condition for conjugate subsets, we investigate separations…
We discuss examples of linear representations of finite groups as subgroups of the Riordan group. In particular, we show that the symmetric group of degree three has no faithful representation as a subgroup of the Riordan group over the…
In this paper I present some open problems on Coxeter groups and unimodality, together with the main partial results, and computational evidence, that are known about them.
In this paper, we investigate boundaries of parabolic subgroups of Coxeter groups. Let $(W,S)$ be a Coxeter system and let $T$ be a subset of $S$ such that the parabolic subgroup $W_T$ is infinite. Then we show that if a certain set is…
Shephard groups are common generalizations of Coxeter groups, Artin groups, and graph products of cyclic groups. Their definition is similar to that of a Coxeter group, but generators may have arbitrary order rather than strictly order 2.…
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…
The orthogonal groups are a series of simple Lie groups associated to symmetric bilinear forms. There is no analogous series associated to symmetric trilinear forms. We introduce an infinite dimensional group-like object that can be viewed…
We consider presentations that were derived in \cite{BaumeisterNeaimeRees} for the interval groups associated with proper quasi-Coxeter elements of the Coxeter group $W(D_n)$. We use combinatorial methods to derive alternative presentations…
We study combinatorial properties of the alternating subgroup of a Coxeter group, using a presentation of it due to Bourbaki.
We show that the characteristic series for the greedy normal form of a Coxeter group is always a rational series, and prove a reciprocity formula for this series when the group is right-angled and the nerve is Eulerian. As corollaries we…
A generic finite presentation defines a word hyperbolic group whose boundary is homeomorphic to the Menger curve. In this article, we produce the first known examples of non-hyperbolic $CAT(0)$ groups whose visual boundary is homeomorphic…
We show that the independent set sequence of a bipartite graph need not be unimodal.
We prove that the degree $r(2p-3)$ cohomology of any (untwisted) finite group of Lie type over $\mathbb{F}_{p^r}$, with coefficients in characteristic $p$, is nonzero as long as its Coxeter number is at most $p$. We do this by providing a…
We introduce the concept of hyperreflection groups, which are a generalization of Coxeter groups. We prove the Deletion and Exchange Conditions for hyperreflection groups, and we discuss special subgroups and fundamental sectors of…
For small $n$, the known compact hyperbolic $n$-orbifolds of minimal volume are intimately related to Coxeter groups of smallest rank. For $n=2$ and $3$, these Coxeter groups are given by the triangle group $[7,3]$ and the tetrahedral group…
A Coxeter system is an ordered pair (W,S) where S is the generating set in a particular type of presentation for the Coxeter group W. A subgroup of W is called special if it is generated by a subset of S. Amalgamated product decompositions…
We exhibit an infinite family of snowflake groups all of whose asymptotic cones are simply connected. Our groups have neither polynomial growth nor quadratic Dehn function, the two usual sources of this phenomenon. We further show that each…
