英文摘要：

Given a Coxeter system $(W,S)$ there is a contractible simplicial complex $Σ$ called the Davis complex on which $W$ acts properly and cocompactly. In an article of Dymara, the weighted $L^2$-(co)homology groups of $Σ$ were defined, and in an article of Davis-Dymara-Januszkiewicz-Okun, the Singer conjecture for Coxeter groups was appropriately formulated for weighted $L^2$-(co)homology theory. In this article, we prove the weighted version of the Singer conjecture in dimension three under the assumption that the nerve of the Coxeter group is not dual to a hyperbolic simplex, and in dimension four under additional restrictions. We then prove a general version of the conjecture where the nerve of the Coxeter group is assumed to be a flag triangulation of a $3$-manifold.

On the three-dimensional Singer Conjecture for Coxeter groups

We give a proof of the Singer conjecture (on the vanishing of reduced $\ell^2$-homology except in the middle dimension) for the Davis Complex $Σ$ associated to a Coxeter system $(W,S)$ whose nerve $L$ is a triangulation of $\mathbb{S}^2$. We show that it follows from a theorem of Andreev, which gives the necessary and sufficient conditions for a classical reflection group to act on $\mathbb{H}^3$.

Statements and Dilemmas Regarding the $\ell^2$-homology of Coxeter groups

We generalize the methods in previous work to provide a program for proving Singer's Conjecture for Coxeter systems. Specifically, we consider even Coxeter systems with nerves that are flag triangulations of $\BS^{n-1}$, $n=2k$. We prove that Singer's Conjecture in dimensions $n-2$ and $n-1$, along with the vanishing of the $\ltwo$-homology of certain subspaces called "two-letter" ruins above dimension $k+1$, imply Singer's Conjecture in dimension $n$. This is, so far, an incomplete program. The author intends this paper to serve as a reference for those inquiring about Singer's Conjecture and…

Geometrization of 3-dimensional Coxeter orbifolds and Singer's conjecture

Associated to any Coxeter system $(W,S)$, there is a labeled simplicial complex $L$ and a contractible CW-complex $Σ_L$ (the Davis complex) on which $W$ acts properly and cocompactly. $Σ_L$ admits a cellulation under which the nerve of each vertex is $L$. It follows that if $L$ is a triangulation of $\mathbb{S}^{n-1}$, then $Σ_L$ is a contractible $n$-manifold. In this case, the orbit space, $K_L:=Σ_L/W$, is a \emph{Coxeter orbifold}. We prove a result analogous to the JSJ-decomposition for 3-dimensional manifolds: Every 3-dimensional Coxeter orbifold splits along Euclidean suborbifolds into t…

The fattened Davis complex and weighted $L^2$-(co)homology of Coxeter groups

Associated to a Coxeter system $(W,S)$ there is a contractible simplicial complex $Σ$ called the Davis complex on which $W$ acts properly and cocompactly by reflections. Given a positive real multiparameter $\mathbf{q}$, one can define the weighted $L^2$-(co)homology groups of $Σ$ and associate to them a nonnegative real number called the weighted $L^2$-Betti number. Not much is known about the behavior of these groups when $\mathbf{q}$ lies outside a certain restricted range, and weighted $L^2$-Betti numbers have proven difficult to compute. In this article we propose a program to compute the…

Coxeter Groups, Ruins, and Weighted $L^2$-cohomology

Given a Coxeter system $(W,S)$ and a multiparameter $\mathbf{q}$ of real numbers indexed by $S$, one can define the weighted $L^2$-cohomology groups and associate to them a nonnegative real number called the weighted $L^2$-Betti number. We show that for ranges of $\mathbf{q}$ depending on certain subgroups of $W$, the weighted $L^2$-cohomology groups of $W$ are concentrated in low dimensions. We then prove new vanishing results for the weighted $L^2$-cohomology of certain low-dimensional Coxeter groups. Our arguments rely on computing the $L^2$-cohomology of certain complexes called ruins, as …

Vanishing theorems and conjectures for the, $\ell ^2$--homology of right-angled Coxeter groups

Associated to any finite flag complex L there is a right-angled Coxeter group W_L and a cubical complex Σ_L on which W_L acts properly and cocompactly. Its two most salient features are that (1) the link of each vertex of Σ_L is L and (2) Σ_L is contractible. It follows that if L is a triangulation of S^{n-1}, then Σ_L is a contractible n-manifold. We describe a program for proving the Singer Conjecture (on the vanishing of the reduced L^2-homology except in the middle dimension) in the case of Σ_L where L is a triangulation of S^{n-1}. The program succeeds when n < 5. This implies the Charney…

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…

Some topological problems on the configuration spaces of Artin and Coxeter groups

In the first part we review some topological and algebraic aspects in the theory of Artin and Coxeter groups, both in the finite and infinite case (but still, finitely generated). In the following parts, among other things, we compute the Schwartz genus of the covering associated to the orbit space for all affine Artin groups. We also give a partial computation of the cohomology of the braid group with non-abelian coefficients coming from geometric representations. We introduce an interesting class of "sheaves over posets", which we call "weighted sheaves over posets", and use them for explici…

Weighted $L^2$-cohomology of Coxeter groups

Given a Coxeter system $(W,S)$ and a positive real multiparameter $\bq$, we study the "weighted $L^2$-cohomology groups," of a certain simplicial complex $Σ$ associated to $(W,S)$. These cohomology groups are Hilbert spaces, as well as modules over the Hecke algebra associated to $(W,S)$ and the multiparameter $q$. They have a "von Neumann dimension" with respect to the associated "Hecke - von Neumann algebra," $N_q$. The dimension of the $i^th$ cohomology group is denoted $b^i_q(Σ)$. It is a nonnegative real number which varies continuously with $q$. When $q$ is integral, the $b^i_q(Σ)$ are t…

Cohomology computations for Artin groups, Bestvina-Brady groups, and graph products

We compute: * the cohomology with group ring coefficients of Artin groups (or actually, of their associated Salvetti complexes), Bestvina-Brady groups, and graph products of groups, * the L^2-Betti numbers of Bestvina-Brady groups and of graph products of groups, * the weighted L^2-Betti numbers of graph products of Coxeter groups. In the case of arbitrary graph products there is an additional proviso: either all factors are infinite or all are finite.(However, for graph products of Coxeter groups this proviso is unnecessary.)
