The notions of nonpositive curved spaces and biautomatic groups are generalizations of the geometric properties of hyperbolic spaces and computational properties of their fundamental groups. Given the mutual origins of these conditions, one…
In this paper we prove, without the finite rank assumption, that any irreducible Coxeter group of infinite order is directly indecomposable as an abstract group. The key ingredient of the proof is that we can determine, for an irreducible…
We show that two uniform lattices of a regular right-angled Fuchsian building are commensurable, provided the chamber is a polygon with at least six edges. We show that in an arbitrary Gromov-hyperbolic regular right-angled building…
We construct a morphism from the cactus group associated with a Coxeter group to the group of invertible elements of Lusztig's asymptotic algebra. This relates to the cactus group action on elements of Coxeter groups defined by Losev and…
Shephard groups are common extensions of Artin and Coxeter groups. They appear, for example, in algebraic study of manifolds. An infinite family of Shephard groups which are not Artin or Coxeter groups is considered. Using techniques form…
An axiomatic approach to the representation theory of Coxeter groups and their Hecke algebras was presented in [1]. Combinatorial aspects of this construction are studied in this paper. In particular, the symmetric group case is…
Artin groups are a natural generalization of braid groups and are well-understood in certain cases. Artin groups are closely related to Coxeter groups. There is a faithful representation of a Coxeter group $W$ as a linear reflection group…
We introduce a construction turning some Coxeter and Davis realizations of buildings into systolic complexes. Consequently groups acting geometrically on buildings of triangle types distinct from $(2,4,4)$, $(2,4,5)$, $(2,5,5)$, and various…
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 show that the higher rank lamplighter groups, or Diestel-Leader groups $\Gamma_d(q)$ for $d \geq 3$, are graph automatic. This introduces a new family of graph automatic groups which are not automatic.
We show that any homomorphism from the homeomorphism group of a compact 2-manifold, with the compact-open topology, or equivalently, with the topology of uniform convergence, into a separable topological group is automatically continuous.
Automatic groups admitting prefix closed automatic structures with uniqueness are characterized as the quotients of free groups by normal subgroups possessing sets of free generators satisfying certain language-theoretic conditions.
We study and classify a class of representations (called generalized geometric representations) of a Coxeter group of finite rank. These representations can be viewed as a natural generalization of the geometric representation. The…
We construct a family of right-angled Coxeter groups which provide counter-examples to questions about the stable boundary of a group, one-endedness of quasi-geodesically stable subgroups, and the commensurability types of right-angled…
Kac-Moody groups over finite fields are finitely generated groups. Most of them can naturally be viewed as irreducible lattices in products of two closed automorphism groups of non-positively curved twinned buildings: those are the most…
In this short, elementary note we prove that if a faithful reflection representation of a Coxeter group preserves an orthant, then that Coxeter group is a product of symmetric groups acting on its natural permutation representation. We also…
We study coherence of graph products and Coxeter groups and obtain many results in this direction.
We prove groups acting cocompactly on locally finite trees with hyperbolic vertex stabilisers are asynchronously automatic. Combining this with previous work of the authors, we obtain an example of a group satisfying several non-positive…
The dynamics group of an asynchronous cellular automaton (ACA) relates properties of its long term dynamics to the structure of Coxeter groups. The key mathematical feature connecting these diverse fields is involutions. Group-theoretic…
We prove that a non-spherical irreducible Coxeter group is (directly) indecomposable and that a non-spherical and non-affine Coxeter group is strongly indecomposable in the sense that all its finite index subgroups are (directly)…
