A Coxeter group W is called reflection independent if its reflections are uniquely determined by W only, independently on the choice of the generating set. We give a new sufficient condition for the reflection independence, and examine this…

We prove that for any field k of characteristic p>0, any separated scheme X of finite type over k, and any overconvergent F-isocrystal E over X, the rigid cohomology H^i(X, E) and rigid cohomology with compact supports H^i_c(X,E) are finite…

In deformation-rigidity theory it is often important to know whether certain bimodules are weakly contained in the coarse bimodule. Consider a bimodule $H$ over the group algebra $\mathbb{C}[\Gamma]$, with $\Gamma$ a discrete group. The…

A type of directed multigraph called a W-digraph is introduced to model the structure of certain representations of Hecke algebras, including those constructed by Lusztig and Vogan from involutions in a Weyl group. Building on results of…

Let A be a commutative ring, B a commutative A-algebra and M a complex of B-modules. We begin by constructing the square Sq_{B/A} M, which is also a complex of B-modules. The squaring operation is a quadratic functor, and its construction…

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…

Using the geometry of the associated Calogero-Moser space, R. Rouquier and the author have attached to any finite complex reflection group $W$ several notions (Calogero-Moser left, right or two-sided cells, Calogero-Moser cellular…

A graph is said to be globally rigid in $d$-dimensional space if almost all of its embeddings are unique up to isometries. If a graph has enough automorphisms to send any of its vertices into any other, then it is called vertex-transitive.…

We show that for many right-angled Artin and Coxeter groups, all cocompact cubulations coarsely look the same: they induce the same coarse median structure on the group. These are the first examples of non-hyperbolic groups with this…

Given an irreducible well-generated complex reflection group W with Coxeter number h, we call a Coxeter element any regular element (in the sense of Springer) of order h in W; this is a slight extension of the most common notion of Coxeter…

Let X be a polyhedral complex with finitely many isometry classes of links. We establish a restriction on the covolumes of uniform lattices acting on X. When X is two-dimensional and has all links isometric to either a complete bipartite…

We establish quasi-isometric rigidity for a class of right-angled Coxeter groups. Let $\Gamma_1,\Gamma_2$ be joins of finite generalized thick $m$-gons with $m\geq 3$. We show that the corresponding right-angled Coxeter groups are…

We show that the diameter of the image of the skinning map on the deformation space of an acylindrical reflection group is bounded by a constant depending only on the topological complexity of the components of its boundary, answering a…

A compactness theorem is proved for a family of K\"{a}hler surfaces with constant scalar curvature and volume bounded from below, diameter bounded from above, Ricci curvature bounded and the signature bounded from below. Furthermore, a…

We prove that for $d\geq 3$, the 1-skeleton of any $(d-1)$-dimensional doubly Cohen Macaulay (abbreviated 2-CM) complex is generically $d$-rigid. This implies the following two corollaries (by Kalai and Lee respectively): Barnette's lower…

Let D be a connected graph. The Dynkin complex CD(A) of a D-algebra A was introduced by the second author in [TL2] to control the deformations of quasi-Coxeter algebra structures on A. In the present paper, we study the cohomology of this…

By underlying the commutation relation in a right-angled Coxeter group W, we recover the fact that right-angled Coxeter groups are rigid and we describe the second subgroup of Aut(W) that appears in the decomposition of Aut(W) into a…

We classify a class of complex representations of an arbitrary Coxeter group via characters of the integral homology of certain graphs. Such representations can be viewed as a generalization of the geometric representation and correspond to…

This paper investigates stable cohomotopy groups in codimensions two and three from complementary algebraic and geometric viewpoints. For general CW complexes, we give a complete characterization of stable cohomotopy in codimension two and…

We prove that a finitely generated virtually RFRS group of cohomological dimension at most $2$ is coherent if and only if its second $L^{2}$-Betti number vanishes if and only if it is virtually free-by-cyclic. The non-vanishing of the…
