The notion of limit roots of a Coxeter group W was recently introduced (see arXiv:1112.5415 and arXiv:1303.6710): they are the accumulation points of directions of roots of a root system for W. In the case where the root system lives in a…

H.S.M. Coxeter showed that a group $\Gamma$ is a finite reflection group of an Euclidean space if and only if $\Gamma$ is a finite Coxeter group. In this paper, we define {\it reflections} of geodesic spaces in general, and we prove that…

We consider the automorphism groups of various Lorentzian lattices over the Eisenstein, Gaussian, and Hurwitz integers, and in some of them we find reflection groups of finite index. These provide new finite-covolume reflection groups…

We give a criterion for a finitely generated odd-angled Coxeter group to have a proper finite index subgroup generated by reflections. The answer is given in terms of the least prime divisors of the exponents of the Coxeter relations.

In this paper we consider ultra-parallel complex hyperbolic triangle groups of type $[m_1,m_2,0]$, i.e. groups of isometries of the complex hyperbolic plane, generated by complex reflections in three ultra-parallel complex geodesics two of…

In a finite real reflection group, the reflection length of each element is equal to the codimension of its fixed space, and the two coincident functions determine a partial order structure called the absolute order. In complex reflection…

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…

Using authors's methods of 1980, 1981, some explicit finite sets of number fields containing ground fields of arithmetic hyperbolic reflection groups are defined, and good bounds of their degrees (over Q) are obtained. For example, degree…

A discrete subgroup of the group of isometries of the hyperbolic space is called reflective if up to a finite index it is generated by reflections in hyperplanes. The main result of this paper is a complete classification of the reflective…

We prove that two reflection factorizations of a parabolic quasi-Coxeter element in a finite Coxeter group belong to the same Hurwitz orbit if and only if they generate the same subgroup and have the same multiset of conjugacy classes. As a…

In contrast to the fact that there are only finitely many maximal arithmetic reflection groups acting on the hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^n$, $n\geq 2$, we show that: (a) one can produce infinitely many maximal quasi-arithmetic reflection…
