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…

Given a graph G, we construct a simple, convex polytope whose face poset is based on the connected subgraphs of G. This provides a natural generalization of the Stasheff associahedron and the Bott-Taubes cyclohedron. Moreover, we show that…

We study the group of type-preserving automorphisms of a right-angled building, in particular when the building is locally finite. Our aim is to characterize the proper open subgroups as the finite index closed subgroups of the stabilizers…

Let $S$ be a nonorientable surface of genus $g\ge 5$ with $n\ge 0$ punctures, and $\Mcg(S)$ its mapping class group. We define the complexity of $S$ to be the maximum rank of a free abelian subgroup of $\Mcg(S)$. Suppose that $S_1$ and…

We introduce a graph-theoretic condition, called $(n,m)$--branching, that ensures a combinatorial round tree with controlled branching parameters can be quasi-isometrically embedded in the Davis complex of the right-angled Coxeter group…

The edge group of a simplicial complex is a well-known, combinatorial version of the fundamental group. It is a group associated to a simplicial complex that consists of equivalence classes of edge loops and that is isomorphic to the…

Moduli spaces of points on $n$-spheres carry natural actions of braid groups. For $n=0$, $1$, and $3$, we prove that these symmetries extend to actions of mapping class groups of positive genus surfaces, by establishing exceptional…

A graph product kernel means the kernel of the natural surjection from a graph product to the corresponding direct product. We prove that a graph product kernel of countable groups is special, and a graph product of finite or cyclic groups…

A subperiodic group is a group of motions of $d$-dimensional Euclidean space $\R^d$ which contains a translation lattice $\Z^r$ of rank $r < d$ as a subgroup of finite index. A classification into abstract group isomorphism classes 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 study fixed point properties of the automorphism group of the universal Coxeter group Aut$(W_n)$. In particular, we prove that whenever Aut$(W_n)$ acts by isometries on complete $d$-dimensional CAT$(0)$ space with…

We show that every graph product of finitely generated abelian groups acts properly and cocompactly on a CAT(0) cubical complex. The complex generalizes (up to subdivision) the Salvetti complex of a right-angled Artin group and the Coxeter…

We equate dynamical properties (e.g., positive entropy, existence of a periodic curve) of complex projective surface automorphisms with properties of the pull-back actions of such automorphisms on line bundles. We use the properties of the…

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)…

In this paper we consider the class of 2-dimensional Artin groups with connected, large type, triangle-free defining graphs (type CLTTF). We classify these groups up to isomorphism, and describe a generating set for the automorphism group…

The topic of the paper are developments of $n$-dimensional Coxeter polyhedra. We show that the surface of such polyhedron admits a canonical cutting such that each piece can be covered by a Coxeter $(n-1)$-dimensional domain.

In this paper, we study the generating function of cyclically fully commutative elements in Coxeter groups, which are elements such that any cyclic shift of theirs reduced decompositions remains a reduced expression of a fully commutative…

It is proved that the group of holomorphic automorphisms of holomorphically homogeneous nondegenerate (finite Bloom-Graham type + holomorphic nondegenaracy) model surface Q is a subgroup of the group of birational automorphisms of the…

A Coxeter group acts properly and cocompactly by isometries on the Davis complex for the group; we call the quotient of the Davis complex under this action the Davis orbicomplex for the group. We prove the set of finite covers of the Davis…

A dynamically affine map is a finite quotient of an affine morphism of an algebraic group. We determine the rationality or transcendence of the Artin-Mazur zeta function of a dynamically affine self-map of $\mathbb{P}^1(k)$ for $k$ an…
