Abstract

Let GG be a group with a non-elementary action on a (not necessarily discrete) A~2\tilde{A}_2-buildings. We prove that, given a random walk on GG, isometries in GG are strongly regular hyperbolic with high probability. As a consequence, we prove a Tits alternative for GG, as well as a local-to-global fixed point result. We also prove that isometries of (not necessarily complete) R\mathbb{R}-buildings are semi-simple.
