BOUNDARY OF CAT(-1) COXETER GROUPS

Abstract

In this paper, we study the topological properties of the hyperbolic boundaries of CAT(-1) Coxeter groups of virtual cohomological dimension 2. We will show how these properties are related to combinatorial properties of the associated Coxeter graph. More precisely, we investigate the connectedness, the local connectedness and the existence problem of local cut points. In the appendix, in a joint work with Z. Sela, we will construct the JSJ decomposition of the Coxeter groups for which the corresponding Coxeter graphs are complete bipartite graphs.
