Some residually finite groups
by
Tadeusz Januszkiewicz
The Ohio State University
Coauthors: Jacek Swiatkowski, Wroclaw University

Theorem: Every locally gallery connected pseudomanifold admits a finite ramified (along codimension two skeleton) cover, which is CAT -1. I will discuss the main issue in constructing such ramified coverings, which is residual finiteness of certain groups, generalizing Coxeter groups.
