Cohomology of Drinfeld symmetric spaces and Harmonic cochains

Yacine Aït Amrane (2006)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Let K be a non-archimedean local field. This paper gives an explicit isomorphism between the dual of the special representation of G L n + 1 ( K ) and the space of harmonic cochains defined on the Bruhat-Tits building of G L n + 1 ( K ) , in the sense of E. de Shalit [11]. We deduce, applying the results of a paper of P. Schneider and U. Stuhler [9], that there exists a G L n + 1 ( K ) -equivariant isomorphism between the cohomology group of the Drinfeld symmetric space and the space of harmonic cochains.

Combinatorial and group-theoretic compactifications of buildings

Pierre-Emmanuel Caprace, Jean Lécureux (2011)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Let X be a building of arbitrary type. A compactification 𝒞 sph ( X ) of the set Res sph ( X ) of spherical residues of X is introduced. We prove that it coincides with the horofunction compactification of Res sph ( X ) endowed with a natural combinatorial distance which we call the root-distance. Points of 𝒞 sph ( X ) admit amenable stabilisers in Aut ( X ) and conversely, any amenable subgroup virtually fixes a point in 𝒞 sph ( X ) . In addition, it is shown that, provided Aut ( X ) is transitive enough, this compactification also coincides with the group-theoretic...

Combinatorial mapping-torus, branched surfaces and free group automorphisms

François Gautero (2007)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

We give a characterization of the geometric automorphisms in a certain class of (not necessarily irreducible) free group automorphisms. When the automorphism is geometric, then it is induced by a pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism without interior singularities. An outer free group automorphism is given by a 1 -cocycle of a 2 -complex (a standard dynamical branched surface, see [7] and [9]) the fundamental group of which is the mapping-torus group of the automorphism. A combinatorial construction elucidates...

Combinatorial Modulus on Boundary of Right-Angled Hyperbolic Buildings

Antoine Clais (2016)

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces

In this article, we discuss the quasiconformal structure of boundaries of right-angled hyperbolic buildings using combinatorial tools. In particular, we exhibit some examples of buildings of dimension 3 and 4 whose boundaries satisfy the combinatorial Loewner property. This property is a weak version of the Loewner property. This is motivated by the fact that the quasiconformal structure of the boundary led to many results of rigidity in hyperbolic spaces since G.D.Mostow. In the case of buildings...

Commensurations of Out ( F n )

Benson Farb, Michael Handel (2007)

Publications Mathématiques de l'IHÉS

Let Out(Fn) denote the outer automorphism group of the free group Fn with n>3. We prove that for any finite index subgroup Γ<Out(Fn), the group Aut(Γ) is isomorphic to the normalizer of Γ in Out(Fn). We prove that Γ is co-Hopfian: every injective homomorphism Γ→Γ is surjective. Finally, we prove that the abstract commensurator Comm(Out(Fn)) is isomorphic to Out(Fn).
