We study topological invariants related to the l2-homology of low
dimensional regular right-angled buildings. By definition, such buildings admit
a chamber transitive automorphism group G. In this setting, we provide several
formulas for the l2-Euler characteristic with respect to G and
compute l2-Betti numbers for a variety of 2-dimensional right-angled
buildings. One of these formulas relates the l2-Euler characteristic
to the h-polynomial of the nerve of the associated right-angled Coxeter group.
Particularly interesting is the case where this nerve is a triangulation of a
n-sphere. We prove that the h-polynomial associated with a flag triangulation of
a n-sphere has real roots for n less or equal to 3.
