Given a Coxeter system $(W,S)$ there is a contractible simplicial complex $\Sigma$ called the Davis complex on which $W$ acts properly and cocompactly. In an article of Dymara, the weighted $L^2$-(co)homology groups of $\Sigma$ were…

If $L$ is a flag triangulation of $S^{n-1}$, then the Davis complex $\Sigma_L$ for the associated right-angled Coxeter group $W_L$ is a contractible $n$-manifold. A special case of a conjecture of Singer predicts that the $L^2$-homology of…

Associated to any finite flag complex L there is a right-angled Coxeter group W_L and a contractible cubical complex Sigma_L (the Davis complex) on which W_L acts properly and cocompactly, and such that the link of each vertex is L. It…

Associated to any finite flag complex L there is a right-angled Coxeter group W_L and a cubical complex \Sigma_L on which W_L acts properly and cocompactly. Its two most salient features are that (1) the link of each vertex of \Sigma_L is L…

We give a proof of the Singer conjecture (on the vanishing of reduced $\ell^2$-homology except in the middle dimension) for the Davis Complex $\Sigma$ associated to a Coxeter system $(W,S)$ whose nerve $L$ is a triangulation of…

We generalize the methods in previous work to provide a program for proving Singer's Conjecture for Coxeter systems. Specifically, we consider even Coxeter systems with nerves that are flag triangulations of $\BS^{n-1}$, $n=2k$. We prove…

Given a Coxeter system (W,S), there is an associated CW-complex, Sigma, on which W acts properly and cocompactly. We prove that when the nerve L of (W,S) is a flag triangulation of the 3-sphere, then the reduced $\ell^2$-homology of Sigma…

We study group actions on manifolds that admit hierarchies, which generalizes the idea of Haken n-manifolds introduced by Foozwell and Rubinstein. We show that these manifolds satisfy the Singer conjecture in dimensions $n \le 4$. Our main…

Associated to a Coxeter system $(W,S)$ there is a contractible simplicial complex $\Sigma$ called the Davis complex on which $W$ acts properly and cocompactly by reflections. Given a positive real multiparameter $\mathbf{q}$, one can define…

This paper is devoted to the construction of a hyperkaehler structure on the complexification of any Hermitian-symmetric affine coadjoint orbit O of a semi-simple L*-group of compact type, which is compatible with the complex symplectic…

A Coxeter $n$-orbifold is an $n$-dimensional orbifold based on a polytope with silvered boundary facets. Each pair of adjacent facets meet on a ridge of some order $m$, whose neighborhood is locally modeled on ${\mathbb R}^n$ modulo the…

In this paper we study three-dimensional orbifolds by 2-groups with a trivially-acting one-form symmetry group BK. These orbifolds have a global two-form symmetry, and so one expects that they decompose into (are equivalent to) a disjoint…

Given a manifold with corners $X$, we associates to it the corner structure simplicial complex $\Sigma_X$. Its reduced K-homology is isomorphic to the K-theory of the $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{K}_b(X)$ of b-compact operators on $X$. Moreover,…

In this paper, we study Coxeter systems with two-dimensional Davis-Vinberg complexes. We show that for a Coxeter group $W$, if $(W,S)$ and $(W,S')$ are Coxeter systems with two-dimensional Davis-Vinberg complexes, then there exists…

It is conjectured that every cusped hyperbolic 3-manifold has a decomposition into positive volume ideal hyperbolic tetrahedra (a "geometric" triangulation of the manifold). Under a mild homology assumption on the manifold we construct…

We exhibit a distinctly low-dimensional dynamical obstruction to the existence of Liouville cobordisms: for any contact 3-manifold admitting an exact symplectic cobordism to the tight 3-sphere, every nondegenerate contact form admits an…

Given a Coxeter system $(W,S)$ and a positive real multiparameter $\bq$, we study the "weighted $L^2$-cohomology groups," of a certain simplicial complex $\Sigma$ associated to $(W,S)$. These cohomology groups are Hilbert spaces, as well as…

In this thesis, we aim to understand the microscopic details and origin of the Cosmological Horizon, produced by a static observer in four-dimensional de Sitter (dS$_4$) spacetime. We consider a deformed extension of dS spacetime by means…

A Coxeter system is called two-dimensional if its associated Davis complex is two-dimensional (equivalently, every spherical subgroup has rank less than or equal to 2). We prove that given a two-dimensional system (W,S) and any other system…

We study random 2-dimensional complexes in the Linial - Meshulam model and prove that for the probability parameter satisfying $$p\ll n^{-46/47}$$ a random 2-complex $Y$ contains several pairwise disjoint tetrahedra such that the 2-complex…
