Abstract
Let (a1, …, am | wn) be a presentation of a group G, where n 2. We define a system of codimension-1 subspaces in the universal cover, and invoke Sageev's construction to produce an action of G on a CAT(0) cube complex. We show that the action is proper and cocompact when n 4. A fundamental tool is a geometric generalization of Pride's C(2n) small-cancellation result. We prove similar results for staggered groups with torsion.
