Abstract

In a Bruhat-Tits building of split classical type (that is, of type AnA_n, BnB_n, CnC_n, DnD_n, and any combination of them) over a local field, the simplicial volume counts the vertices within the given simplicial distance from a special vertex. This paper aims to study the asymptotic growth of the simplicial volume. A formula of the simplicial volume is deduced from the theory of concave functions. Then the dominant term in its asymptotic growth is found using the theory of qq-exponential polynomials developed in this paper.
