Coxeter groups act properly discontinuously on CAT(0) cube complexes, with cocompact cubing for word hyperbolic or right angled Coxeter groups.

Abstract

We show that any finitely generated Coxeter group acts properly discontinuously on a locally finite, finite dimensional CAT(0) cube complex. For any word hyperbolic or right angled Coxeter group we prove that the cubing is cocompact. We show how the local structure of the cubing is related to the partial order studied by Brink and Howlett in their proof of automaticity for Coxeter groups.
