Co-contractions of graphs and right-angled Coxeter groups

Jongtae Kim and Myoungho Moon

Konkuk University, Konkuk University

Abstract

We prove that if $\widehat{\Gamma}$ is a co-contraction of $\Gamma$, then the right-angled Coxeter group $C(\widehat{\Gamma})$ embeds into $C(\Gamma)$. Further, we provide a graph $\Gamma$ without an induced long cycle while $C(\Gamma)$ does not contain a hyperbolic surface group.

Keywords: right-angled Artin group, right-angled Coxeter group, hyperbolic surface subgroup
