Centralizers of Coxeter Elements and Inner Automorphisms of Right-Angled Coxeter Groups

چکیده
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

Automorphisms of nearly finite Coxeter groups
Suppose that W is an infinite Coxeter group of finite rank n, and suppose that W has a finite parabolic subgroup WJ of rank n 1. Suppose also that the Coxeter diagram of W has no edges with infinite labels. Then any automorphism of W that preserves reflections lies in the subgroup of AutðWÞ generated by the inner automorphisms and the automorphisms induced by symmetries of the Coxeter graph. If...
متن کاملInner Automorphisms of Right-angled Coxeter Groups
If W is a right-angled Coxeter group, then the group Aut(W ) of automorphisms of W acts on the set of conjugacy classes of involutions in W. Following Tits [16], the kernel of this action is denoted by Aut◦(W ). Since W is a CAT(0) group [12], the index of Aut◦(W ) in Aut(W ) is finite and there is a series 1 Inn(W ) Aut◦(W ) Aut(W ) of normal subgroups of Aut(W ). A presentation for Aut◦(W ) w...
متن کاملAutomorphisms of Right-Angled Coxeter Groups
If (W, S) is a right-angled Coxeter group, then Aut(W ) is a semidirect product of the group Aut◦(W ) of symmetric automorphisms by the automorphism group of a certain groupoid. We show that, under mild conditions, Aut◦(W ) is a semidirect product of Inn(W ) by the quotient Out◦(W ) = Aut◦(W )/Inn(W ). We also give sufficient conditions for the compatibility of the two semidirect products. When...
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 کاملAutomorphisms of Coxeter Groups of Rank Three
If W is an infinite rank 3 Coxeter group, whose Coxeter diagram has no infinite bonds, then the automorphism group of W is generated by the inner automorphisms and any automorphisms induced from automorphisms of the Coxeter diagram. Indeed Aut(W ) is the semi-direct product of Inn(W ) and the group of graph automorphisms.
