Abstract

We prove that if $\widehat{\Gamma}$ is a co-contraction of ${\Gamma}$, then the right-angled Coxeter group $C(\widehat{\Gamma})$ embeds into $C({\Gamma})$. Further, we provide a graph ${\Gamma}$ without an induced long cycle while $C({\Gamma})$ does not contain a hyperbolic surface group.
