Let $Sigma$ be the Davis complex for a Coxeter system (W,S). The automorphism group G of $Sigma$ 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 $Gamma$, and an infinite family of uniform lattices with covolumes converging to that of $Gamma$. It follows that the set of covolumes of lattices in G is nondiscrete. We also show that the nonuniform lattice $Gamma$ is not finitely generated. Examples of $Sigma$ 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 $Sigma$.
The goal of this paper is to present a number of problems about automorphism groups of nonpositively curved polyhedral complexes and their lattices, meant to highlight possible directions for future research.
We give conditions on a presentation of a group, which imply that its Cayley complex is simplicial and the flag complex of the Cayley complex is systolic. We then apply this to Garside groups and Artin groups. We give a classification of the Garside
In his work on the Novikov conjecture, Yu introduced Property $A$ as a readily verified criterion implying coarse embeddability. Studied subsequently as a property in its own right, Property $A$ for a discrete group is known to be equivalent to exact
We prove that any group acting essentially without a fixed point at infinity on an irreducible finite-dimensional CAT(0) cube complex contains a rank one isometry. This implies that the Rank Rigidity Conjecture holds for CAT(0) cube complexes. We der
Leightons graph covering theorem states that two finite graphs with common universal cover have a common finite cover. We generalize this to a large family of non-positively curved special cube complexes that form a natural generalization of regular
