In this survey article, we present some panorama of groups acting on metric spaces of non-positive curvature. We introduce the main examples and their rigidity properties , we show the links between algebraic or analytic properties of the…

We study the group of type-preserving automorphisms of a right-angled building, in particular when the building is locally finite. Our aim is to characterize the proper open subgroups as the finite index closed subgroups of the stabilizers…

We initiate the study of some pro-p-groups arising from infinite-dimensional Lie theory. These groups are completions of some subgroups of incomplete Kac-Moody groups over finite fields, with respect to various completions of algebraic or…

The paper is devoted to model-theoretic properties of Kac-Moody groups with the focus on elementary equivalence of Kac-Moody groups. We show that elementary equivalence of (untwisted) affine Kac-Moody groups implies coincidence of their…

We construct a map from the classifying space of a discrete Kac-Moody group over the algebraic closure of the field with p elements to the classifying space of a complex topological Kac-Moody group and prove that it is a homology…

In this paper we construct a new "pro-p-complete" topological Kac-Moody group and compare it to various known topological Kac-Moody groups. We come across this group by investigating the process of completion of groups with BN-pairs. We…

Let $G$ be a Kac-Moody group over a finite field corresponding to a generalized Cartan matrix $A$, as constructed by Tits. It is known that $G$ admits the structure of a BN-pair, and acts on its corresponding building. We study the complete…

A subgroup of a Kac-Moody group is called bounded if it is contained in the intersection of two finite type parabolic subgroups of opposite signs. In this paper, we study the isomorphisms between Kac-Moody groups over arbitrary fields of…

We give the definition of a kind of building I for a symmetrizable Kac-Moody group over a field K endowed with a dicrete valuation and with a residue field containing C. Due to some bad properties, we call this I a hovel. Nevertheless I has…

Recently, relative braid group actions on $\imath$quantum groups of arbitrary finite types have been constructed by Wang and the author. In this paper, we extend that construction to $\imath$quantum groups of Kac-Moody type. We formulate…

We construct holomorphic loop groups and their associated affine Kac-Moody groups and prove that they are tame Fr\'echet manifolds. These results form the functional analytic basis for the theory of affine Kac-Moody symmetric spaces,…

In this study, we try to generalize Bruhat-Tits's theory to the case of a Kac-Moody group, that is to define an affine building for a Kac-Moody group over a local field. Actually, we will obtain a geometric space wich lacks some of the…
