Abstract: Let (G,S) be a finitely generated Coxeter group, such that the Coxeter system is indecomposable and the canonical bilinear form is indefinite but non-degenerate. We show that the reduced C-*-algebra of G is simple with unique normalised trace. For an arbitrary finitely generated Coxeter group we prove the validity of a Haagerup inequality: There exist constants C>0 and a natural number L such that for a function f in l^2(G) supported on elements of length n with respect to the generating set S: || f * h || <= C(n+1)^{3/2 L} || f || || h ||, forall h in l^2(G).

Review text

It is shown that if \(G\) is an indecomposable finitely generated infinite Coxeter group whose associated bilinear form is indefinite and non-degenerated, then the reduced \(C^*\)-algebra \(C^*_r(G)\) is simple with unique normalized trace. For any Coxeter group \(G\) with a finite generating set \(S\), the following Haagerup inequality is established: there exist constants \(C>0\) and \(\Lambda\in\mathbb{N}\) such that, for any function \(h\in l^2(G)\) supported on elements of length \(n\) with respect to \(S\) and for all \(f\in l^2(G)\), \[ \| f*h\| _2\leq C(n+1)^{\frac{3}{2}\,\Lambda}\| f\| _2\,\| h\| _2. \]
