A Note on Parabolic Subgroups of a Coxeter Group
نویسنده
چکیده
The aim of this note is to prove that the parabolic closure of any subset of a Coxeter group is a parabolic subgroup. To obtain that, several technical lemmas on the root system of a parabolic subgroup are established. MSC 2000 Subject Classifications: Primary 20F55; Secondary 20H15

On Growth Types of Quotients of Coxeter Groups by Parabolic Subgroups
The principal objects studied in this note are Coxeter groups W that are neither finite nor affine. A well known result of de la Harpe asserts that such groups have exponential growth. We consider quotients of W by its parabolic subgroups and by a certain class of reflection subgroups. We show that these quotients have exponential growth as well. To achieve this, we use a theorem of Dyer to con...
متن کاملParabolic Subgroups of Coxeter Groups Acting by Reflections on Cat(0) Spaces
We consider a cocompact discrete reflection group W of a CAT(0) space X . Then W becomes a Coxeter group. In this paper, we study an analogy between the Davis-Moussong complex Σ(W, S) and the CAT(0) space X , and show several analogous results about the limit set of a parabolic subgroup of the Coxeter group W .
متن کاملOn the Cohomology of Coxeter Groups and Their Finite Parabolic Subgroups Ii
In this paper, we study the relation between the cohomology of Coxeter groups and their parabolic subgroups of nite order. Let W be a Coxeter group and k a commutative ring with identity. We investigate the natural map : H (W; k) ! lim:inv: H (W F ; k), where W F runs all parabolic subgroups of nite order, and prove that the kernel and the cokernel of consist of nilpotent elements. This general...
متن کاملCo-growth of Parabolic Subgroups of Coxeter Groups
In this article, we consider infinite, non-affine Coxeter groups. These are known to be of exponential growth. We consider the subsets of minimal length coset representatives of parabolic subgroups and show that these sets also have exponential growth. This is achieved by constructing a reflection subgroup of our Coxeter group which is isomorphic to the universal Coxeter group on three generato...
متن کاملA Note on Relative Hyperbolicity and Artin Groups
In [12], I. Kapovich and P. Schupp showed that certain 2-dimensional Artin groups (those with all relator indices at least 7) are hyperbolic relative (in the sense of Farb) to their non-free rank 2 parabolic subgroups. This paper considers the question of relative hyperbolicity of an Artin group with regard to the geometry of the associated Deligne complex. We prove a relative version of the Mi...
