Abstract: We show that, under weak assumptions, the automorphism group of a $mCAT(0)$ cube complex $X$ coincides with the automorphism group of Hagen's contact graph $mathcalC(X)$. The result holds, in particular, for universal covers of Salvetti complexes, where it provides an analogue of Ivanov's theorem on curve graphs of non-sporadic surfaces. This highlights a contrast between contact graphs and Kim-Koberda extension graphs, which have much larger automorphism group. We also study contact graphs associated to Davis complexes of right-angled Coxeter groups. We show that these contact graphs are less well-behaved and describe exactly when they have more automorphisms than the universal cover of the Davis complex.
