Hyperbolic Coxeter groups of large dimension
Commentarii Math. Helvetici 78(2003) pp.555-583.
We prove a generalization of Vinberg's theorem giving a bound on the dimension Gromov hyperbolic Poincare duality groups.
On the other hand we construct Gromov hyperbolic Coxeter groups of arbitrarily large virtual cohomological dimension.

This is a follow up on "Nonpositive curvature of blowups". We take a look at equivariant blowups of arrangements of mirrors coming from (not necessarily finite) reflection group W. Universal cover of such a space is acted on cocompactly by certain extension of W, and the action is very much reminiscent of the reflection group action, though it is not of this type. We study those groups and spaces guided by the above analogy: provide a presentations, construct equivariant nonpositively curved thickenings (thus these groups satisfy the properties from CAT(0) package), construct natural linear representations (BUT we cannot prove these are faithful).

We show that Baumslag-Solitar groups are both aTmenable and topologically amenable. In fact we discuss a slight generalization of Baumslag-Solitar groups, including Bieri-Strebel groups. In the proof we use Bass-Serre theory.

It's a long paper, but its definitely worth reading.

You have what is in the title and a little more. Gero Fendler was visiting Wroclaw in Nov/Dec 1998 and lecturing about this property for Coxeter groups of "large type". I noticed that my old argument for right angled groups can be adapted to the general situation.
