The Growth Rates of Ideal Coxeter Polyhedra in Hyperbolic 3-Space

Abstract

In~[7], Kellerhals and Perren conjectured that the growth rates of the reflection groups given by compact hyperbolic Coxeter polyhedra are always Perron numbers. We prove that this conjecture holds in the context of ideal Coxeter polyhedra in $\mathbb{H}^3$. Our methods allow us to bound from below the growth rates of composite ideal Coxeter polyhedra by the growth rates of its ideal Coxeter polyhedral constituents.
