We show that there is no compact hyperbolic Coxeter d-polytope with d+4 facets for d>7. This bound is sharp: examples of such polytopes up to dimension 7 were found by Bugaenko (1984). We also show that in dimension d=7 the polytope with 11 facets is unique.
For each positive integer $k$ we present an example of Coxeter system $(G_k,S_k)$ such that $G_k$ is a word-hyperbolic Coxeter group, for any two generating reflections $s,t\in S_k$ the product $st$ has finite order, and the Coxeter graph of $S_k$ has negative inertia index equal to $k$. In particular, $G_k$ cannot be embedded into pseudo-orthogonal group $O(n,k-1)$ for any $n$ as a reflection group with generating set being reflections w.r.t. $(G_k,S_k)$
In this paper we classify reflection subgroups of Euclidean Coxeter groups.
This note is a comment to the paper by D.R.Heath-Brown and B.Z.Moroz (Math Proc. Camb. Phil. Soc. 125 (1999)). That paper concerns with the projective surface $S$ in $\mathbb{P}^{3}$ defined by the equation $x_{1}x_{2}x_{3}=x_{4}^{3}$. It is shown there that the evaluation of the leading term of the asymptotic formula for the number of rational points of bounded height in $S(\Q)$ is equivalent to the evaluation of the volume of some 6-dimensional polytope $¶$. The volume of $¶$ is known from several papers; we calculate this volume by elementary method using symmetry of the polytope $¶$. We also discuss a combinatorial structure of $¶$.
Let $P$ be a convex polytope in the Euclidean space $\E^n$. Consider the group $G_P$ generated by reflections in the facets of $P$. We say that $P$ {\it generates a reflection group $G_P$}. In the present paper, we list all Euclidean simplices generating discrete reflection groups.
