A tropical view on Bruhat-Tits buildings and their compactifications

Annette Werner (2011)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

We relate some features of Bruhat-Tits buildings and their compactifications to tropical geometry. If G is a semisimple group over a suitable non-Archimedean field, the stabilizers of points in the Bruhat-Tits building of G and in some of its compactifications are described by tropical linear algebra. The compactifications we consider arise from algebraic representations of G. We show that the fan which is used to compactify an apartment in this theory is given by the weight polytope...

The Connes-Kasparov conjecture for almost connected groups and for linear p -adic groups

Publications Mathématiques de l'IHÉS

Similarity:

Let G be a locally compact group with cocompact connected component. We prove that the assembly map from the topological K-theory of G to the K-theory of the reduced C-algebra of G is an isomorphism. The same is shown for the groups of -rational points of any linear algebraic group over a local field of characteristic zero.
