On quotients of Coxeter groups

Group Theory 2023-05-11 v1

Abstract

A group GG is said to be just infinite if GG itself is infinite but all proper quotients of GG are finite. We show that a Coxeter group WΓW_\Gamma is just infinite if and only if Γ\Gamma is isomorphic to one of the following graphs: A~1\widetilde{A}_1, A~n(n2)\widetilde{A}_n (n\geq 2), B~n(n3)\widetilde{B}_n (n\geq 3), C~n(n2)\widetilde{C}_n (n\geq 2), D~n(n4)\widetilde{D}_n(n\geq 4), E~6\widetilde{E}_6, E~7\widetilde{E}_7, E~8\widetilde{E}_8, F~4\widetilde{F}_4 or G~2\widetilde{G}_2. Moreover, we show that just infinite Coxeter groups are profinitely rigid among all Coxeter groups.
