Weighted Coxeter graphs and generalized geometric representations of Coxeter Groups

Abstract: We introduce the notion of weighted Coxeter graph and associate to it a certain generalization of the standard geometric representation of a Coxeter group. We prove sufficient conditions for faithfulness and non-faithfulness of such a representation. In the case when the weighted Coxeter graph is balanced we discuss how the generalized geometric representation is related to the numbers game played on the Coxeter graph.
