In mathematics , Bruhat Tits buildings are a non-Archimedean variant of symmetrical spaces . They are named after François Bruhat and Jacques Tits .

Be one body and be a discreet review . The evaluation ring is defined by .

The Bruhat-Tits building for the special linear group is an (n-1) -dimensional simplicial complex .

Corners : Its corners (0-simplices) are the homothesis classes of lattices in . (A lattice is a module of rank , two lattices belong to the same homothetic class if for one .)

Simplizes : Corners form a -dimensional simplex if and only if they are interspersed with

be represented with an irreducible element .

In particular, the Bruhat-Tits building is from an infinite tree whose nodes have the valence , where the remainder class field to be associated is. In this case one speaks of a Bruhat Tits tree .

In general, a Bruhat-Tits building can be defined for each reductive group over a local body .

properties

The Bruhat Tits Building is a Euclidean building, and in particular a CAT (0) room . The link of each corner is a spherical Tits building and in particular a CAT (1) room .

The group acts properly discontinuously by simplicial automorphisms on its Bruhat-Tits buildings.

The Bruhat Tits building is contractible , finite-dimensional and locally finite; the latter means that each simplex is only adjacent to a finite number of simplices .
