Infinite reduced words and the Tits boundary of a Coxeter group

Abstract: Let (W,S) be a finite rank Coxeter system with W infinite. We prove that the limit weak order on the blocks of infinite reduced words of W is encoded by the topology of the Tits boundary of the Davis complex X of W. We consider many special cases, including W word hyperbolic, and X with isolated flats. We establish that when W is word hyperbolic, the limit weak order is the disjoint union of weak orders of finite Coxeter groups. We also establish, for each boundary point \xi, a natural order-preserving correspondence between infinite reduced words which "point towards" \xi, and elements of the reflection subgroup of W which fixes \xi.
