Abstract

A Coxeter group is rigid if it cannot be defined by two nonisomorphic diagrams. There have been a number of recent results showing that various classes of Coxeter groups are rigid, and a particularly interesting example of a nonrigid Coxeter group has been given by Bernhard Muhlherr. We show that this example belongs to a general operation of ‘diagram twisting’. We show that the Coxeter groups defined by twisted diagrams are isomorphic, and, moreover, that the Artin groups they define are also isomorphic, thus answering a question posed by Charney. Finally, we show a number of Coxeter groups are reflection rigid once twisting is taken into account.
