Recent Results on Coxeter Groups

Polytopes: Abstract, Convex and Computational

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 440))

Abstract

The last few years have been good for the knowledge of Coxeter groups: the conjugacy problem has been solved, Coxeter groups have been shown to be automatic, and the structure of subgroups has been further exploited. In these notes, we survey some of these results, thus providing a sequel to three earlier ASI lectures on Coxeter groups.
