The K(π,1)K(\pi,1)-conjecture for infinite Coxeter groups

Let WW be an infinite Coxeter group, let YWY_W be the associated hyperplane complement in CV\mathbb{C}\otimes V restricted to the Tits cone, and let AA be the associated Artin group. For finite Coxeter groups, Deligne's theorem states that YW/WY_W/W is an aspherical space with fundamental group AA. The K(π,1)K(\pi,1)-conjecture. The analogue of Deligne's theorem holds for infinite Coxeter groups; in particular, YW/WY_W/W is aspherical and has fundamental group AA. Part of the conjecture, namely A=π1(YW/W)A=\pi_1(Y_W/W), is known for arbitrary Coxeter groups, and asphericity has been proved for some classes of infinite Coxeter groups, but the conjecture remains open for arbitrary Coxeter groups.
