This chapter deals with the residues of a Bruhat-Tits building whose building at infinity is an exceptional quadrangle. It begins with the remark that if Λ‎ is an arbitrary quadratic space of type Eℓ for ℓ = 6, 7 or 8 or of typeF₄ over a field K that is complete with respect to a discrete valuation, and if in the F4-case the subfield F is closed with respect to this valuation and if Δ‎ is the corresponding Moufang quadrangle of type Eℓ or F₄, then there always exists a unique affine building Ξ‎ such that Δ‎ is the building at infinity of Ξ‎ with respect to its complete system of apartments. The chapter also considers the standard embedding of the apartment A in the Euclidean plane which takes the intersection of A and R to the set of eight triangles containing the origin. Finally, it describes a Moufang polygon with two root group sequences.

This chapter assembles a few standard definitions, fixes some notation, and reviews a few of the results about buildings and Moufang polygons. It also summarizes the basic facts about Coxeter groups and buildings, including the fundamental properties of roots, residues, apartments, and projection maps. The chapter defines a Moufang building as spherical, thick, irreducible and of rank at least 2, and a Bruhat-Tits building as a thick irreducible affine building whose building at infinity is Moufang. Furthermore, it presents a fundamental result of Tits: that an irreducible thick spherical building of rank at least 3 satisfies the Moufang condition as do all the irreducible residues of rank at least 2 of such a building. Finally, it considers a simplicial complex, the dimension of which is its cardinality minus one.

This chapter shows that if Ξ‎ is an affine building and Γ‎ is a finite descent group of Ξ‎, then Γ‎ is a descent group of Ξ‎∞ and (Ξ‎∞) is congruent to (Ξ‎∞). Ξ‎Γ‎ and Ξ‎ can be viewed as metric spaces. The chapter first considers the assumptions that Π‎ is an irreducible affine Coxeter diagram, Ξ‎ is a thick building of type Ξ‎, Γ‎is a finite descent group of Ξ‎, and Tits index �� = (Π‎, Θ‎, A). It then describes apartments that are endowed with reflection hyperplanes and reflection half-spaces before concluding with a theorem about a canonical isomorphism from the fixed point building Ξ‎Γ‎ to (Ξ‎Γ‎).

AbstractLet Δ be an affine building of type $\tilde A_2$ and let 𝔸 be its fundamental apartment. We consider the set 𝕌0 of vertices of type 0 of 𝔸 and prove that the Hecke algebra of all W0-invariant difference operators with constant coefficients acting on 𝕌0 has three generators. This property leads us to define three Laplace operators on vertices of type 0 of Δ. We prove that there exists a joint eigenspace of these operators having dimension greater than ∣W0 ∣. This implies that there exist joint eigenfunctions of the Laplacians that cannot be expressed, via the Poisson transform, in terms of a finitely additive measure on the maximal boundary Ω of Δ.

AbstractLetFbe a totally real number field and let GLnbe the general linear group of rank n overF. Let р be a prime ideal ofFand Fрthe completion ofFwith respect to the valuation induced by р. We will consider a finite quotient of the affine building of the group GLnover the field Fр. We will view this object as a hypergraph and find a set of commuting operators whose sum will be the usual adjacency operator of the graph underlying the hypergraph.
