On conjugacy separability of some Coxeter groups and parabolic-preserving automorphisms

Open publisher page 12 citations

Abstract

We prove that even Coxeter groups, whose Coxeter diagrams contain no $(4,4,2)$ triangles, are conjugacy separable. In particular, this applies to all right-angled Coxeter groups or word hyperbolic even Coxeter groups. For an arbitrary Coxeter group $W$, we also study the relationship between Coxeter generating sets that give rise to the same collection of parabolic subgroups. As an application, we show that if an automorphism of $W$ preserves the conjugacy class of every sufficiently short element then it is inner. We then derive consequences for the outer automorphism groups of Coxeter groups.
