For each integer $k\ge 6$ and each finite graph $L$, we construct a Coxeter group $W$ and a non positively curved polygonal complex $A$ on which $W$ acts properly cocompactly, such that each polygon of $A$ has $k$ edges, and the link of each vertex of $A$ is isomorphic to $L$. If $L$ is a “generalized $m$-gon”, then $A$ is a Tits building modelled on a reflection group of the hyperbolic plane. We give a condition on $\mathrm{Aut}\left(L\right)$ for $\mathrm{Aut}\left(A\right)$ to be non enumerable (which is satisfied if $L$ is a thick classical generalized $m$-gon). On the other hand,...

Nous obtenons une version explicite de la théorie de Bruhat-Tits pour les groupes exceptionnels de type $G_2$ sur un corps local. Nous décrivons chaque construction concrètement en termes de réseaux : l’immeuble, les appartements, la structure simpliciale, les schémas en groupes associés. Les appendices traitent de l’analogie avec les espaces symétriques réels et des espaces symétriques associés à $G_2$ réel et complexe.

Nous obtenons une version explicite de la théorie de Bruhat-Tits pour les groupes exceptionnels des type $F_4$ ou $E_6$ sur un corps local. Nous décrivons chaque construction concrètement en termes de réseaux : l’immeuble, les appartements, la structure simpliciale, les schémas en groupes associés.

In this paper, we determine all the normal forms of Hermitian matrices over finite group rings $R=F_{q^2}G$, where $q=p^{\alpha }$, $G$ is a commutative $p$-group with order $p^{\beta }$. Furthermore, using the normal forms of Hermitian matrices, we study the structure of unitary group over $R$ through investigating its BN-pair and order. As an application, we construct a Cartesian authentication code and compute its size parameters.

Let $G$ be a unitary group defined over a non-Archimedean local field of odd residue characteristic and let $H$ be the centralizer of a semisimple rational Lie algebra element of $G.$ We prove that the Bruhat-Tits building ${𝔅}^1\left(H\right)$ of $H$ can be affinely and $G$-equivariantly embedded in the Bruhat-Tits building ${𝔅}^1\left(G\right)$ of $G$ so that the Moy-Prasad filtrations are preserved. The latter property forces uniqueness in the following way. Let $j$ and $j^{\prime }$ be maps from ${𝔅}^1\left(H\right)$ to ${𝔅}^1\left(G\right)$ which preserve the Moy–Prasad filtrations. We prove that...
