We construct the first example of a lattice on an irreducible Euclidean building that is not residually finite. Conjecturally, the normal subgroup theorem extends to this lattice making it virtually simple.

We provide the first examples of lattices on irreducible buildings that are not residually finite. Assuming that the normal subgroup property holds for them (which is expected) five of the lattices are simple.

Let $\Delta$ be a locally finite thick building of type $\tilde{A}_2$. We show that, if the type-preserving automorphism group $\mathrm{Aut}(\Delta)^+$ of $\Delta$ is transitive on panels of each type, then either $\Delta$ is Bruhat--Tits…

Let $\Gamma$ be a group of type rotating automorphisms of a building $\cB$ of type $\widetilde A_2$, and suppose that $\Gamma$ acts freely and transitively on the vertex set of $\cB$. The apartments of $\cB$ are tiled by triangles, labelled…

We construct a nonuniform lattice and an infinite family of uniform lattices in the automorphism group of a hyperbolic building with all links a fixed finite building of rank 2 associated to a Chevalley group. We use complexes of groups and…

We construct the first examples of chamber-regular lattices on $\tilde C_2$-buildings. Assuming a conjecture of Kantor our list of examples becomes a classification for chamber-regular $\tilde C_2$-lattices on locally-finite $\tilde…

We construct a $40$-dimensional extremal Type II lattice not having any subsets consisting of $40$ orthogonal minimal vectors, and determine the automorphism group. This lattice gives an example different from the $16470$ lattices…

We study lattices on ~A_2 buildings that preserve types, act regularly on each type of edge, and whose vertex stabilizers are cyclic. We show that several of their properties, such as their automorphism group and isomorphism class, can be…

We show that every automorphism of a thick twin building interchanging the halves of the building maps some residue to an opposite one. Furthermore we show that no automorphism of a locally finite 2-spherical twin building of rank at least…

We prove that cocompact (and more generally: undistorted) lattices on $\tilde{A}_2$-buildings satisfy Lafforgue's strong property (T), thus exhibiting the first examples that are not related to algebraic groups over local fields. Our…

We study the problem of classifying local projective structures in dimension two having non trivial Lie symmetries. In particular we obtain a classification of flat projective structures having positive dimensional Lie algebra of projective…

A Type II lattice of norm 8 in dimension 72 is obtained by Construction A applied to an extended Quadratic Residue code over Z8. Its automorphism group contains a subgroup isomorphic to PSL(2,71).

Let $G$ be a group with a non-elementary action on a (not necessarily discrete) $\tilde{A}_2$-buildings. We prove that, given a random walk on $G$, isometries in $G$ are strongly regular hyperbolic with high probability. As a consequence,…

The present thesis studies structural properties of non-crossing partitions associated to finite Coxeter groups from both algebraic and geometric perspectives. On the one hand, non-crossing partitions are lattices, and on the other hand, we…

Ostrom and Wagner (1959) proved that if the automorphism group $G$ of a finite projective plane $\pi$ acts $2$-transitively on the points of $\pi$, then $\pi$ is isomorphic to the Desarguesian projective plane and $G$ is isomorphic to…

The exceptional group $G_2$, when constructed over $Q_p$, may at the same time be considered as the group of automorphisms of an octonion algebra over $Q_p$, or alternatively it may be constructed as a Chevalley group from the root diagram…

Recently, the authors of the present work (together with M. N. Kolountzakis) introduced a new version of the non-commutative Delsarte scheme and applied it to the problem of mutually unbiased bases. Here we use this method to investigate…

An automorphism of a spherical building is called \textit{domestic} if it maps no chamber onto an opposite chamber. This paper forms a significant part of a large project classifying domestic automorphisms of spherical buildings of…

We classify compact 2-connected homogeneous spaces with the same rational cohomology as a product of spheres. This classification relies on spectral sequences, homotopy theory, and representation theory. We then apply this classification to…

The study of automorphisms of computable and other structures connects computability theory with classical group theory. Among the noncomputable countable structures, computably enumerable structures are one of the most important objects of…
