英文摘要：

Let $Σ$ be the Davis complex for a Coxeter system (W,S). The automorphism group G of $Σ$ is naturally a locally compact group, and a simple combinatorial condition due to Haglund--Paulin determines when G is nondiscrete. The Coxeter group W may be regarded as a uniform lattice in G. We show that many such G also admit a nonuniform lattice $Γ$, and an infinite family of uniform lattices with covolumes converging to that of $Γ$. It follows that the set of covolumes of lattices in G is nondiscrete. We also show that the nonuniform lattice $Γ$ is not finitely generated. Examples of $Σ$ to which our results apply include buildings and non-buildings, and many complexes of dimension greater than 2. To prove these results, we introduce a new tool, that of "group actions on complexes of groups", and use this to construct our lattices as fundamental groups of complexes of groups with universal cover $Σ$.

Covolumes of uniform lattices acting on polyhedral complexes

Let X be a polyhedral complex with finitely many isometry classes of links. We establish a restriction on the covolumes of uniform lattices acting on X. When X is two-dimensional and has all links isometric to either a complete bipartite graph or the building for a Chevalley group of rank 2 over a field of prime order, we obtain further restrictions on covolumes.

A family of uniform lattices acting on a Davis complex with a non-discrete set of covolumes

Let $(W,S)$ be a Coxeter system with Davis complex $Σ$. The polyhedral automorphism group $G$ of $Σ$ is a locally compact group under the compact-open topology. If $G$ is a discrete group (as characterised by Haglund--Paulin), then the set $\mathcal V_u(G)$ of uniform lattices in $G$ is discrete. Whether the converse is true remains an open problem. Under certain assumptions on $(W,S)$, we show that $\mathcal V_u(G)$ is non-discrete and contains rationals (in lowest form) with denominators divisible by arbitrarily large powers of any prime less than a fixed integer. We explicitly construct our…

Coxeter systems with two-dimensional Davis-Vinberg complexes

In this paper, we study Coxeter systems with two-dimensional Davis-Vinberg 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 $S''\subset W$ 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 $(W,S)$ and $(W,S')$ have the same number of vertices, the same number of edges and the same multiset of edge-labels. This is an extension of results of A.Kaul and N.Brady, J.P.McCammond, …

Maximal torsion-free subgroups of certain lattices of hyperbolic buildings and Davis complexes

We give an explicit construction of a maximal torsion-free finite-index subgroup of a certain type of Coxeter group. The subgroup is constructed as the fundamental group of a finite and non-positively curved polygonal complex. First we consider the special case where the universal cover of this polygonal complex is a hyperbolic building, and we construct finite-index embeddings of the fundamental group into certain cocompact lattices of the building. We show that in this special case the fundamental group is an amalgam of surface groups over free groups. We then consider the general case, and …

A generalization of the Davis-Moussong complex for Dyer groups

A common feature of Coxeter groups and right-angled Artin groups is their solution to the word problem. Matthew Dyer introduced a class of groups, which we call Dyer groups, sharing this feature. This class includes, but is not limited to, Coxeter groups, right-angled Artin groups, and graph products of cyclic groups. We introduce Dyer groups by giving their standard presentation and show that they are finite index subgroups of Coxeter groups. We then introduce a piecewise Euclidean cell complex $Σ$ which generalizes the Davis-Moussong complex and the Salvetti complex. The construction of $Σ$ …

Lattices acting on right-angled buildings

Let X be a right-angled building. We show that the lattices in Aut(X) share many properties with tree lattices. For example, we characterise the set of covolumes of uniform and of nonuniform lattices in Aut(X), and show that the group Aut(X) admits an infinite ascending tower of uniform and of nonuniform lattices. These results are proved by constructing a functor from graphs of groups to complexes of groups.

Simplicite de groupes d'automorphismes d'espaces a courbure negative

We prove that numerous negatively curved simply connected locally compact polyhedral complexes, admitting a discrete cocompact group of automorphisms, have automorphism groups which are locally compact, uncountable, non linear and virtually simple. Examples include hyperbolic buildings, Cayley graphs of word hyperbolic Coxeter systems, and generalizations of cubical complexes, that we call even polyhedral complexes. We use tools introduced by Tits in the case of automorphism groups of trees, and Davis-Moussong's geometric realisation of Coxeter systems.

CAT(0) cubical complexes for graph products of finitely generated abelian groups

We show that every graph product of finitely generated abelian groups acts properly and cocompactly on a CAT(0) cubical complex. The complex generalizes (up to subdivision) the Salvetti complex of a right-angled Artin group and the Coxeter complex of a right-angled Coxeter group. In the right-angled Artin group case it is related to the embedding into a right-angled Coxeter group described by Davis and Januszkiewicz. We compare the approaches and also adapt the argument that the action extends to finite index supergroup that is a graph product of finite groups.

Systolizing buildings

We introduce a construction turning some Coxeter and Davis realizations of buildings into systolic complexes. Consequently groups acting geometrically on buildings of triangle types distinct from $(2,4,4)$, $(2,4,5)$, $(2,5,5)$, and various rank $4$ types are systolic.

The $L^2$-(co)homology of groups with hierarchies

We study group actions on manifolds that admit hierarchies, which generalizes the idea of Haken n-manifolds introduced by Foozwell and Rubinstein. We show that these manifolds satisfy the Singer conjecture in dimensions $n \le 4$. Our main application is to Coxeter groups whose Davis complexes are manifolds; we show that the natural action of these groups on the Davis complex has a hierarchy. Our second result is that the Singer conjecture is equivalent to the cocompact action dimension conjecture, which is a statement about all groups, not just fundamental groups of closed aspherical manifold…

From symmetries of the modular tower of genus zero real stable curves to an Euler class for the dyadic circle

We build actions of Thompson group V (related to the Cantor set) and of the so-called "spheromorphism" group of Neretin, on "towers" of moduli spaces of genus zero real stable curves. The latter consist of inductive limits of spaces which are the real parts of the Grothendieck-Knudsen compactification of the usual moduli spaces of punctured Riemann spheres. By a result of M. Davis, T. Januszkiewicz and R. Scott, these spaces are aspherical cubical complexes, whose fundamental groups, the "pure quasi-braid groups", are some analogues of the classical pure braid groups. By lifting the actions of…
