Conjugacy of 2–spherical subgroups of Coxeter groups and parallel walls

Let $(W, S)$ be a Coxeter system of finite rank (ie $| S |$ is finite) and let $A$ be the associated Coxeter (or Davis) complex. We study chains of pairwise parallel walls in $A$ using Tits’ bilinear form associated to the standard root system of $(W, S)$ . As an application, we prove the strong parallel wall conjecture of G Niblo and L Reeves [J Group Theory 6 (2003) 399–413]. This allows to prove finiteness of the number of conjugacy classes of certain one-ended subgroups of $W$ , which yields in turn the determination of all co-Hopfian Coxeter groups of $2$ –spherical type.
