       Springer, New York, 2005. 
       In Chapter 4, the authors develop some aspects 
of so-called geometric representations of Coxeter groups using as their 
starting point a 
possibly asymmetric matrix meeting the requirements of the amplitude matrix 
of an SC graph, as discussed in Units 1 and 3 of the talks.

treatment of the foundations of Coxeter groups was authored by 
Jacques Tits.

       The first chapter exposition on Kac--Moody 
algebras and their associated Weyl groups connects to our discussion of 
asymmetric geometric representations of Coxeter groups and associated 
objects such as the Tits cone (see Unit 3 of the talks).

       Brink and Howlett prove a finiteness results 
about root systems for the standard geometric representations of Coxeter 
groups.  A consequence is that Coxeter groups have an automatic structure.  
If a group is automatic, one consequence is that the Word Problem can be 
solved in quadratic time. It is not clear whether their finitness result 
extends to root systems for asymmetric geometric representations of Coxeter 
groups as presented in Unit 3 of the talks.

       This paper uses connections between 
the root system/geometric representation viewpoint for Coxeter groups 
(cf. Unit 3 of the talks) 
and Coxeter/Davis complexes (as presented earlier in the seminar by Dr. 
Schroeder) in part to extend the finiteness result of [P4] above.

       Davis and Shapiro put forward a result they call 
the Parallel Wall Theorem, from which they deduce that Coxeter groups are 
automatic.  However, their proof of the Parallel Wall Theorem incomplete.  
This issue was resolved by Brink and Howlett in [P4] above: their Theorem 
2.8 concerning "minimal roots" is equivalent to the Parallel 
Wall Theorem.

orbits of weights. See [P23] below.
