Masures are generalizations of Bruhat–Tits buildings. They were introduced by Gaussent and Rousseau to study Kac–Moody groups over ultrametric fields that generalize reductive groups. Rousseau gave an axiomatic definition of these spaces. We propose an equivalent axiomatic definition, which is shorter, more practical, and closer to the axiom of Bruhat–Tits buildings. Our main tool to prove the equivalence of the axioms is the study of the convexity properties in masures.
