| TITLE: | Ends of Coxeter groups and buildings |
This will be an introduction to Coxeter groups and buildings, focusing on asymptotic invariants of groups. In addition to outlining some important theorems from the 70s, 80, and 90s, I will also sketch recent joint work with Mike Davis which unifies and illuminates many of these earlier results.
