Abstract

We study homomorphisms from Kähler groups to Coxeter groups. As an application, we prove that a cocompact complex hyperbolic lattice (in complex dimension at least 2) does not embed into a Coxeter group or a right-angled Artin group. This is in contrast with the case of real hyperbolic lattices.
