Strong Accessibility of Coxeter Groups over Minimal Splittings
نویسنده
چکیده
Given a class of groups C, a group G is strongly accessible over C if there is a bound on the number of terms in a sequence Λ1, Λ2, . . . , Λn of graph of groups decompositions of G with edge groups in C such that Λ1 is the trivial decomposition (with 1-vertex) and for i > 1, Λi is obtained from Λi−1 by non-trivially and compatibly splitting a vertex group of Λi−1 over a group in C, replacing this vertex group by the splitting and then reducing. If H and K are subgroups of a group G then H is smaller than K if H ∩K has finite index in H and infinite index in K. The minimal splitting subgroups of G, are the subgroups H of G, such that G splits non-trivially (as an amalgamated product or HNN-extension) over H and for any other splitting subgroup K of W , K is not smaller than H. When G is a finitely generated Coxeter group, minimal splitting subgroups are always finitely generated. Minimal splittings are explicitly or implicitly important aspects of Dunwoody’s work on accessibility and the JSJ results of Rips-Sela, Dunwoody-Sageev and Mihalik. Our main results are that Coxeter groups are strongly accessible over minimal splittings and if Λ is an irreducible graph of groups decomposition of a Coxeter group with minimal splitting edge groups, then the vertex and edge groups of Λ are Coxeter.

JSJ-Decompositions of Coxeter Groups over Virtually Abelian Splittings
The idea of “JSJ-decompositions” for 3-manifolds began with work of Waldhausen and was developed later through work of Jaco, Shalen and Johansen. It was shown that there is a finite collection of 2-sided, incompressible tori that separate a closed irreducible 3-manifold into pieces with strong topological structure. Sela introduced the idea of JSJ-decompositions for groups, an idea that has flo...
متن کاملMinimal Length Elements in Some Double Cosets of Coxeter Groups
We study the minimal length elements in some double cosets of Coxeter groups and use them to study Lusztig’s G-stable pieces and the generalization of G-stable pieces introduced by Lu and Yakimov. We also use them to study the minimal length elements in a conjugacy class of a finite Coxeter group and prove a conjecture in [GKP].
متن کاملMinimal Faithful Permutation Degrees for Irreducible Coxeter Groups
The minimal faithful degree of a finite group G, denoted by μ(G), is the least non-negative integer n such that G embeds inside Sym(n). In this article we calculate the minimal faithful permutation degree for all of the irreducible Coxeter groups.
متن کاملThickness, 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...
