| Popis: | If $L$ is a flag triangulation of $S^{n-1}$, then the Davis complex $\Sigma_L$ for the associated right-angled Coxeter group $W_L$ is a contractible $n$-manifold. A special case of a conjecture of Singer predicts that the $L^2$-homology of such $\Sigma_L$ vanishes outside the middle dimension. We give conditions which guarantee this vanishing is preserved under edge subdivision of $L$. In particular, we verify Singer's conjecture when $L$ is the barycentric subdivision of the boundary of an $n$-simplex, and for general barycentric subdivisions of triangulations of $S^{2n-1}$. Using this, we construct explicit counterexamples to a torsion growth analogue of Singer's conjecture. Comment: Fixed mistake in the statement and the proof of (old) Theorem 6.1, this is replaced by Theorem 6.1 and Theorem 6.3. All previous parts of the paper are unchanged |
