Relative Hyperbolicity and Right-angled Coxeter Groups
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that right-angled Coxeter groups are relatively hyperbolic in the sense defined by Farb, relative to a natural collection of rank-2 parabolic subgroups.

Thickness, Relative Hyperbolicity, and Randomness in Coxeter Groups
For right-angled Coxeter groups WΓ, we obtain a condition on Γ that is necessary and sufficient to ensure that WΓ is thick and thus not relatively hyperbolic. We show that Coxeter groups which are not thick all admit canonical minimal relatively hyperbolic structures; further, we show that in such a structure, the peripheral subgroups are both parabolic (in the Coxeter group-theoretic sense) an...
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 کاملCells 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 کاملA Complex for Right-angled Coxeter Groups
We associate to each right-angled Coxeter group a 2-dimensional complex. Using this complex, we show that if the presentation graph of the group is planar, then the group has a subgroup of finite index which is a 3-manifold group (that is, the group is virtually a 3-manifold group). We also give an example of a right-angled Coxeter group which is not virtually a 3-manifold group.
