We show that $C(L)$ is isomorphic to a hyperbolic right-angled reflection group if and only if $L$ can be realized as an acute triangulation. The proof relies on the theory of CAT(-1) spaces. A corollary is that an abstract triangulation of $\\mathbb{S}^2$ can be realized as an acute triangulation exactly when it satisfies a combinatorial condition called \"flag no-square\". We also study generalizations of this result to other angle bounds, other planar surfaces and other dimensions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-08-01T20:01:24.000Z", "abstract": "Let C(L) be the right-angled Coxeter group defined by an abstract triangulation L of S^2.
