Minimality of the Boundary of a Right-angled Coxeter System
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we show that the boundary ∂Σ(W, S) of a rightangled Coxeter system (W, S) is minimal if and only if W S̃ is irreducible, where W S̃ is the minimum parabolic subgroup of finite index in W . We also provide several applications and remarks.

Weighted L–cohomology of Coxeter groups based on barycentric subdivisons
Associated to any finite flag complex L there is a right-angled Coxeter group WL and a contractible cubical complex ΣL (the Davis complex) on which WL acts properly and cocompactly, and such that the link of each vertex is L. It follows that if L is a generalized homology sphere, then ΣL is a contractible homology manifold. We prove a generalized version of the Singer Conjecture (on the vanishi...
متن کاملBoundaries of right angled Coxeter groups with manifold nerves
All abstract reflection groups act geometrically on non-positively curved geodesic spaces. Their natural space at infinity, consisting of (bifurcating) infinite geodesic rays emanating from a fixed base point, is called a boundary of the group. We will present a condition on right angled Coxeter groups under which they have topologically homogeneous boundaries. The condition is that they have a...
متن کاملRigidity of Right-angled Coxeter Groups
In mathematics, a group is the set of symmetries of an object. Coxeter groups are a broad and natural class of groups that are related to reflectional symmetries. Each Coxeter group is determined by a diagram, called a labeled graph, that encodes algebraic information about the group. In general, two different labeled graphs can give rise to the same group. It is therefore natural to ask: are t...
متن کاملCentralizers of Coxeter Elements and Inner Automorphisms of Right-Angled Coxeter Groups
Let W be a right-angled Coxeter group. We characterize the centralizer of the Coxeter element of a finite special subgroup of W. As an application, we give a solution to the generalized word problem for Inn(W ) in Aut(W ). Mathematics Subject Classification: 20F10, 20F28, 20F55
متن کاملIntrinsic reflections in Coxeter systems
Let (W,S) be a Coxeter system and let s ∈ S. We call s a right-angled generator of (W,S) if st = ts or st has infinite order for each t ∈ S. We call s an intrinsic reflection of W if s ∈ RW for all Coxeter generating sets R of W . We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a right-angled generator s ∈ S of (W,S) to be an intrinsic reflection of W .
