Coxeter groups and their decompositions
by
Angela Kubena Barnhill
The Ohio State University

Every Coxeter group admits a natural decomposition as a complex of groups, and we consider such decompositions. In particular, given a nonpositively curved decomposition of a Coxeter group W, we find related decompositions of W in which the local groups are special subgroups of W. This gives an analogue for complexes of groups of the Visual Decomposition Theorem of Mihalik and Tschantz.
