We prove the following rigidity results. Coarse equivalences between Euclidean buildings preserve spherical buildings at infinity. If all irreducible factors have dimension at least two, then coarsely equivalent Euclidean buildings are…

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 generalize a result of Serre's to show that if every vertex of some fixed type of a convex subcomplex of an irreducible spherical building has an opposite, then the subcomplex is completely reducible.

Given a spherical spacelike three-geometry, there exists a very simple algebraic condition which tells us whether, and in which, Schwarzschild solution this geometry can be smoothly embedded. One can use this result to show that any given…

In this article, we generalize Eberlein's Rigidity Theorem to the singular case, namely, one of the spaces is only assumed to be a CAT(0) topological manifold. As a corollary, we get that any compact irreducible but locally reducible…

We study geodesically complete and locally compact Hadamard spaces X whose Tits boundary is a connected irreducible spherical building. We show that X is symmetric iff complete geodesics in X do not branch and a Euclidean building…

Completely reducible subcomplexes of spherical buildings was defined by J.P. Serre and are used in studying subgroups of reductive algebraic groups. We begin the study of completely reducible subcomplexes of twin buildings and how they may…

In this paper we prove equivalence of sets of axioms for non-discrete affine buildings, by providing different types of metric, exchange and atlas conditions. We apply our result to show that the definition of a Euclidean building depends…

We prove that if $X$ is a topological space that admits Debreu's classical utility theorem (eg.\ $X$ is separable and connected, second countable, etc.), then order relations on $X$ satisfying milder completeness conditions can be…

Given a split semisimple group over a local field, we consider the maximal Satake-Berkovich compactification of the corresponding Euclidean building. We prove that it can be equivariantly identified with the compactification which we get by…

A completely reducible subcomplex of a spherical building is a spherical building.

Given a Chevalley group $\mathcal{G}$ of classical type and a Borel subgroup $\mathcal{B} \subseteq \mathcal{G}$, we compute the $\Sigma$-invariants of the $S$-arithmetic groups $\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{Z}[1/N])$, where $N$ is a product of…

We prove that two dimensional convex subsets of spherical buildings are either buildings or have a center.

Let X be a symmetric space of non-compact type or a locally finite, strongly transitive Euclidean building, and let B denote the geodesic boundary of X. We reduce the study of visual limits of maximal flats in X to the study of limits of…

Given a semisimple linear algebraic $k$-group $G$, one has a spherical building $\Delta_G$, and one can interpret the geometric realisation $\Delta_G(\mathbb R)$ of $\Delta_G$ in terms of cocharacters of $G$. The aim of this paper is to…

For a Euclidean building $X$ of type $A_{2}$, we classify the 0-dimensional subbuildings $A$ of $\partial_{T}X$ that occur as the asymptotic boundary of closed convex subsets. In particular, we show that triviality of the holonomy of a…

We give a new proof of a theorem of Kleiner-Leeb: that any quasi-isometrically embedded Euclidean space in a product of symmetric spaces and Euclidean buildings is contained in a metric neighborhood of finitely many flats, as long as the…

The Newlander-Nirenberg theorem says that a formally integrable complex structure is locally equivalent to the standard complex structure in the complex Euclidean space. In this paper, we consider two natural generalizations of the…

The purpose of this paper is to provide an easier set of axioms for Affine $\Lambda$-Buildings by extending results of Anne Parreau on the equivalence of axioms for Euclidean buildings. In particular we give an easier set of axioms for an…

In this paper we show that a convex subcomplex of a spherical building of type E6, E7 or E8 is a subbuilding or the automorphisms of the subcomplex fix a point on it. Together with previous results of M\"uhlherr-Tits, and Leeb and the…
