In particular, we consider property FA_n, an analogue of Serre's property FA for actions on CAT(0) complexes. Property FA_n has implications for irreducible representations and complex of groups decompositions. In this paper, we give a specific condition on Coxeter presentations that implies FA_n and show that this condition is in fact equivalent to FA_n for n=1 and 2. As part of the proof, we compute the Gersten-Stallings angles between special subgroups of Coxeter groups.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2009-06-30T09:49:29.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20F65", "20F55" ], "keywords": [ "coxeter groups", "fan conjecture", "study global fixed points", "serres property fa", "fact equivalent" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
