We prove that a group acting geometrically on a thick affine building has property (T). A more general criterion for property (T) is given for groups acting on partite complexes.

We give a construction of an affine Hecke algebra associated to any Coxeter group acting on an abelian variety by reflections; in the case of an affine Weyl group, the result is an elliptic analogue of the usual double affine Hecke algebra.…

In this article we work out the details of flat groups of the automorphism group of locally finite Bruhat-Tits buildings.

For each odd integer $p > 1$, we construct infinitely many pairwise non-diffeomorphic irreducible smooth structures on a definite 4-manifold with infinite fundamental group whose abelianization is $\Z/2p\Z\times \Z/2\Z$.

Inspired by the Weierstrass representation of smooth affine minimal surfaces with indefinite metric, we propose a constructive process producing a large class of discrete surfaces that we call discrete affine minimal surfaces. We show that…

In this note we prove that every non characteristically filiform Lie algebra is endowed with an affine structure.

In this article we describe the general and special projectivity groups for all irreducible residues of all thick, irreducible, spherical buildings of type $ \mathsf{B_{n}}$, $ \mathsf{C_{n}}$ and $\mathsf{F_4}$, and rank at least 3. This…

We construct a 2-category of differential graded schemes. The local affine models in this theory are differential graded algebras, which are graded commutative with unit over a field of characteristic zero, are concentrated in non-positive…

The aim of this paper is to produce infinite exotic structures on smooth closed oriented $4-$manifolds with fundamental group isomorphic to the infinite dihedral group, assuming that $b_2^+$ and $b_2^-$ are at least $12$.

We prove isoperimetric inequalities for quotients of $n$-dimensional Affine buildings. We use these inequalities to prove topological overlapping for the 2-dimensional skeletons of these buildings.

We prove equivalence of certain axiom sets for affine buildings. Along the lines a purely combinatorial proof of the existence of a spherical building at infinity is given. As a corollary we obtain that ``being an affine building'' is…

We study a family of finitely generated residually finite groups. These groups are doubles $F_2*_H F_2$ of a rank-$2$ free group $F_2$ along an infinitely generated subgroup $H$. Varying $H$ yields uncountably many groups up to isomorphism.

We give an abstract definition of affine hovels which generalizes the definition of affine buildings (eventually non simplicial) given by Jacques Tits and includes the hovels built by Stephane Gaussent and the author for some Kac-Moody…

Smooth manifolds have been always understood intuitively as spaces with an affine geometry on the infinitesimal scale. In Synthetic Differential Geometry this can be made precise by showing that a smooth manifold carries a natural structure…

In the present thesis geometric properties of non-discrete affine buildings are studied. We cover in particular affine $\Lambda$-buildings, which were introduced by Curtis Bennett in 1990 and which already have proven to be useful for…

We show that Hadamard spaces with geometric group actions admit affine maps that are not dilations, if and only if they are Riemannian symmetric spaces of higher rank, Euclidean buildings of higher rank, or split as non-trivial metric…

$p$-Adic compactifications of geometric loop and diffeomorphism groups of compact manifolds on finite-dimensional spaces over non-Archimedean fields are investigated. Weakened topology is introduced. The structure of newly constructed…

We calculate the cluster modular groups of affine and doubly extended typecluster algebras in a uniform way by introducing a new family of quivers. We use this uniformdescription to construct a natural finite quotient of the cluster complex…

We compute the automorphism group of the affine surfaces with the coordinate ring isomorphic to a cluster algebra of rank 2.

This paper deals essentially with affine or projective transformations of Lie groups endowed with a flat left invariant affine or projective structure. These groups are called flat affine or flat projective Lie groups. Our main results…
