On Chamber-regular $\tilde C_2$-Lattices

Abstract

We construct the first examples of chamber-regular lattices on C~2\tilde C_2-buildings. Assuming a conjecture of Kantor our list of examples becomes a classification for chamber-regular C~2\tilde C_2-lattices on locally-finite C~2\tilde C_2-buildings. The links of special vertices in the buildings we construct, are all isomorphic to (the incidence graph of) the unique generalized quadrangle QQ of order (3,5). In particular our constructions involve chamber-regular actions on QQ. These actions on QQ are the first (and if Kantor's conjecture holds the only) chamber-regular actions on a finite generalized quadrangle and therefore interesting in their own right. Moreover QQ is not Moufang and therefore none of our examples is a Bruhat-Tits building and all our lattices are exotic building lattices.
