A series of word-hyperbolic Coxeter groups

Abstract: For each positive integer

k

we present an example of Coxeter system

(G_{k}, S_{k})

such that

G_{k}

is a word-hyperbolic Coxeter group, for any two generating reflections

s, t i n S_{k}

the product

s t

has finite order, and the Coxeter graph of

S_{k}

has negative inertia index equal to

k

. In particular,

G_{k}

cannot be embedded into pseudo-orthogonal group

O (n, k - 1)

for any

n

as a reflection group with generating set being reflections w.r.t.

(G_{k}, S_{k})
