Infinitely many hyperbolic Coxeter groups through dimension 19

چکیده
We prove the following: there are infinitely many finite-covolume (resp. cocompact) Coxeter groups acting on hyperbolic space Hn for every n ≤ 19 (resp. n ≤ 6). When n = 7 or 8, they may be taken to be nonarithmetic. Furthermore, for 2 ≤ n ≤ 19, with the possible exceptions n = 16 and 17, the number of essentially distinct Coxeter groups in Hn with noncompact fundamental domain of volume ≤ V grows at least exponentially with respect to V . The same result holds for cocompact groups for n ≤ 6. The technique is a doubling trick and variations on it; getting the most out of the method requires some work with the Leech lattice.

Cells and Representations of Right-angled Coxeter Groups
We study Kazhdan-Lusztig cells and corresponding representations of right-angled Coxeter groups and Hecke algebras associated with them. In case of the infinite groups generated by reflections of hyperbolic plane in the sides of right-angled polygons we obtain a complete explicit description of the left and two-sided cells. In particular, it appears that there are infinitely many left cells but...
متن کاملEssential Hyperbolic Coxeter Polytopes
We introduce a notion of essential hyperbolic Coxeter polytope as a polytope which fits some minimality conditions. The problem of classification of hyperbolic reflection groups can be easily reduced to classification of essential Coxeter polytopes. We determine a potentially large combinatorial class of polytopes containing, in particular, all the compact hyperbolic Coxeter polytopes of dimens...
متن کاملCoxeter polytopes with a unique pair of non-intersecting facets
We consider compact hyperbolic Coxeter polytopes whose Coxeter diagram contains a unique dotted edge. We prove that such a polytope in d-dimensional hyperbolic space has at most d + 3 facets. In view of results by Kaplinskaja [I.M. Kaplinskaya, Discrete groups generated by reflections in the faces of simplicial prisms in Lobachevskian spaces, Math. Notes 15 (1974) 88–91] and the second author [...

متن کاملA simple method to compute volumes of even-dimensional Coxeter polyhedra
Understanding and computing volumes of hyperbolic manifolds and orbifolds is a rich and fascinating subject. There are for instance deep connections with number theory, more specifically special values of arithmetic functions such as Dedekind ζ-functions, Dirichlet L-functions and polylogarithms (see [Za], [K2], Prasad’s volume formula from [P] as used in the hyperbolic case in [Be] and [BE]). ...
