Semi-edges, Reflections and Coxeter Groups
نویسندگان
چکیده
We combine the theory of Coxeter groups, the covering theory of graphs introduced by Malnic, Nedela and Skoviera and the theory of reflections of graphs in order to obtain the following characterization of a Coxeter group: Let π : Γ → (v,D, ι,−1) be a 1-covering of a monopole admitting semiedges only. The graph Γ is the Cayley graph of a Coxeter group if and only if π is regular and any deck transformation in ∆(π) that interchanges two neighboring vertices of Γ acts as a reflection on Γ.

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 کاملCoxeter Systems with Two-dimensional Davis-vinberg Complexes
In this paper, we study Coxeter systems with two-dimensional DavisVinberg 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 S ⊂ W such that (W, S) is a Coxeter system which is isomorphic to (W, S) and the sets of reflections in (W, S) and (W, S) coincide. Hence the Coxeter diagrams of (W, S) a...
متن کاملCentralizers of reflections and reflection-independence of Coxeter groups
A Coxeter group W is called reflection independent if its reflections are uniquely determined by W only, independently on the choice of the generating set. We give a new sufficient condition for the reflection independence, and examine this condition for Coxeter groups in certain classes, possibly of infinite ranks. We also determine the finite irreducible components of another Coxeter group, t...
متن کاملReflection subgroups of odd-angled Coxeter groups
We give a criterion for a finitely generated odd-angled Coxeter group to have a proper finite index subgroup generated by reflections. The answer is given in terms of the least prime divisors of the exponents of the Coxeter relations.
متن کاملAutomorphism Groups of Some Affine and Finite Type Artin Groups
We observe that, for fixed n ≥ 3, each of the Artin groups of finite type An, Bn = Cn, and affine type Ãn−1 and C̃n−1 is a central extension of a finite index subgroup of the mapping class group of the (n + 2)-punctured sphere. (The centre is trivial in the affine case and infinite cyclic in the finite type cases). Using results of Ivanov and Korkmaz on abstract commensurators of surface mapping...
