Dynamical boundaries of affine buildings: C*-simplicity and Poisson boundaries
Abstract
We investigate a class of groups acting on possibly exotic affine buildings and possessing good proximal properties. Such groups are termed of general type, and their dynamics is analyzed through their flag limit sets in the space of chambers at infinity of . For a group of general type, we prove C*-simplicity by showing that its flag limit set is topologically free, minimal, and strongly proximal. When intersects all Schubert cells relative to a limit chamber, then it is a mean proximal space, in the sense that it carries a unique proximal stationary measure for any admissible probability measure on the acting group. Lattices are established as examples of groups of general type, and their Poisson boundaries are identified. The arguments rely on constructing an equivariant barycenter map from triples of chambers in generic position to the affine building.
