Abstract

Let G\mathbf{G} be a reductive Chevalley group scheme (defined over Z\mathbb{Z}). Let C\mathcal{C} be a smooth, projective, geometrically integral curve over a field F\mathbb{F}. Let PP be a closed point on C\mathcal{C}. Let AA be the ring of functions that are regular outside {P}\lbrace P \rbrace. The fraction field kk of AA has a discrete valuation ν=νP:k×Z\nu=\nu_{P}: k^{\times} \rightarrow \mathbb{Z} associated to PP. In this work, we study the action of the group G(A) \textbf{G}(A) of AA-points of G\mathbf{G} on the Bruhat-Tits building X=X(G,k,νP)\mathcal{X}=\mathcal{X}(\textbf{G},k,\nu_{P}) in order to describe the structure of the orbit space G(A)\X \textbf{G}(A)\backslash \mathcal{X}. We obtain that this orbit space is the ``gluing'' of a closed connected CW-complex with some sector chambers. The latter are parametrized by a set depending on the Picard group of C{P}\mathcal{C} \smallsetminus \{P\} and on the rank of G\mathbf{G}. Moreover, we observe that any rational sector face whose tip is a special vertex contains a subsector face that embeds into this orbit space.
