We introduce the notion of weakly systolic complexes and groups, and initiate regular studies of them. Those are simplicial complexes with nonpositive-curvature-like properties and groups acting on them geometrically. We characterize weakly…
In this article we study combinatorial non-positive curvature aspects of various simplicial complexes with natural $\widetilde A_n$ shaped simplicies, including Euclidean buildings of type $\widetilde A_n$ and Cayley graphs of Garside…
The main goal of this paper is proving the fixed point theorem for finite groups acting on weakly systolic complexes. As corollaries we obtain results concerning classifying spaces for the family of finite subgroups of weakly systolic…
We introduce graphical complexes of groups, which can be thought of as a generalisation of Coxeter systems with 1-dimensional nerves. We show that these complexes are strictly developable, and we equip the resulting Basic Construction with…
We examine a graph $\Gamma$ encoding the intersection of hyperplane carriers in a CAT(0) cube complex $\widetilde X$. The main result is that $\Gamma$ is quasi-isometric to a tree. This implies that a group $G$ acting properly and…
We prove that numerous negatively curved simply connected locally compact polyhedral complexes, admitting a discrete cocompact group of automorphisms, have automorphism groups which are locally compact, uncountable, non linear and virtually…
This article investigates structural, geometrical, and topological characterizations and properties of weakly modular graphs and of cell complexes derived from them. The unifying themes of our investigation are various `nonpositive…
We exhibit a variety of groups that act properly and even cocompactly on median graphs (a.k.a. one-skeletons of CAT(0) cube complexes), with quasi-isometric groups that do not admit any proper action on a median graph. This answes a…
We extend the weak Bruhat order of a finite Coxeter group to the set of its coclasses, modulo parabolic standard subgroups. We use this order to describe associative algebra structures on the vector spaces spanned by the faces of…
We extend the recently-introduced weak Bruhat interval modules of the type A $0$-Hecke algebra to all finite Coxeter types. We determine, in a type-independent manner, structural properties for certain general families of these modules,…
Weak Bruhat interval modules of the $0$-Hecke algebra in type $A$ provide a uniform approach to studying modules associated with noteworthy families of quasisymmetric functions. Recently this kind of modules were generalized from type $A$…
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.…
By following the ideas underpinning the well-established ``homogeneous model'' of an $n$-dimensional Euclidean space, we investigate whether the motion group or the weak motion group of an $n$-dimensional affine metric space on a vector…
Let $\Gamma$ be a graph product of finite groups, with finite underlying graph, and let $\Delta$ be the associated right-angled building. We prove that a uniform lattice $\Lambda$ in the cubical automorphism group Aut$(\Delta)$ is weakly…
Let $(W, I)$ be a finite Coxeter group. In the case where $W$ is a Weyl group, Berenstein and Kazhdan in \cite{BK} constructed a monoid structure on the set of all subsets of $I$ using unipotent $\chi$-linear bicrystals. In this paper, we…
Let (G,S) be a Coxeter group. We construct a continuation, to the open unit disc, of the unitary representations associated to the positive definite functions g -> r^l(g). (Here 0<r<1, and l denotes the length function with respect to the…
A conjecture proposed by Gaetz and Gao asserts that the Cayley graph of any Coxeter group satisfies the strong hull property. In this paper, we prove this conjecture for all affine irreducible Coxeter groups of rank 3. Our approach exploits…
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…
Diagrammatic sets admit a notion of internal equivalence in the sense of coinductive weak invertibility, with similar properties to its analogue in strict $\omega$-categories. We construct a model structure whose fibrant objects are…
The weak order is a classical poset structure on a Coxeter group; it is a lattice when the group is finite but merely a meet-semilattice when the group is infinite. Motivated by problems in Kazhdan--Lusztig theory, Matthew Dyer introduced…
