Group-theoretic compactification of Bruhat–Tits buildings
We investigate Bruhat-Tits buildings and their compactifications by means of Berkovich analytic geometry over complete non-Archimedean fields. For every reductive group over a suitable non-Archimedean field we define a map from the Bruhat-Tits building to the Berkovich analytic space associated with . Composing this map with the projection of to its flag varieties, we define a family of compactifications of . This generalizes results by Berkovich in the case of split groups. Moreover,...
