Collineation groups of translation planes of small dimension.
Let be a building of arbitrary type. A compactification of the set of spherical residues of is introduced. We prove that it coincides with the horofunction compactification of endowed with a natural combinatorial distance which we call the root-distance. Points of admit amenable stabilisers in and conversely, any amenable subgroup virtually fixes a point in . In addition, it is shown that, provided is transitive enough, this compactification also coincides with the group-theoretic...
La notion de complète réductibilité d’une représentation linéaire peut se définir en termes de l’action de sur l’immeuble de Tits de . Cela suggère une notion analogue pour tous les immeubles sphériques, et donc aussi pour tous les groupes réductifs. On verra comment cette notion se traduit en termes topologiques et quelles applications on peut en tirer.
