Word problem and parabolic subgroups in Dyer groups

Abstract: One can observe that Coxeter groups and right-angled Artin groups share the same solution to the word problem. On the other hand, in his study of reflection subgroups of Coxeter groups Dyer introduces a family of groups, which we call Dyer groups, which contains both, Coxeter groups and right-angled Artin groups. We show that all Dyer groups have this solution to the word problem, we show that a group which admits such a solution belongs to a little more general family of groups that we call quasi-Dyer groups, and we show that this inclusion is strict. Then we show several results on parabolic subgroups in quasi-Dyer groups and in Dyer groups. Notably, we prove that any intersection of parabolic subgroups in a Dyer group of finite type is a parabolic subgroup.
