Title: Cubulating CAT(0) Coxeter cell complexes

Abstract: We discuss CAT(0) Coxeter cell complexes, a simultaneous generalization of CAT(0) cube complexes and the Davis complex of a Coxeter group. We show that such complexes can be cubulated, and give a criterion under which the cubulations are locally finite.

We will have tea after the talk in the grad lounge and play some board games at 5pm.
