Abstract: We give a simple construction of Gromov hyperbolic Coxeter groups of arbitrarily large virtual cohomological dimension. Our construction provides new examples of such groups. Using this one can construct e.g. new groups having some interesting asphericity properties.

Review text

The author gives a geometric construction of Gromov hyperbolic Coxeter groups of large virtual cohomological dimension. The main result that the author obtains is the following theorem: Let \(X\) be a finite 5-large simplicial complex such that \(H^n(X;\mathbb Q)\neq 0\); and let \((W,S)\) be the Coxeter system whose nerve is \(X\). Then there exists a torsion-free finite index subgroup \(H\) of \(W\) such that the complex \(X'\), obtained by a certain construction given in the present paper, is a finite 5-large simplicial complex with \(H^{n+1}(X';\mathbb Q)\neq 0\). Thus the right-angled Coxeter group with the nerve \(X'\) is Gromov hyperbolic of virtual cohomological dimension at least \(n+2\).
