AFFINE TWIN BUILDINGS
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 September 2003
Abstract
This research was partially supported by the National Security Agency. It is well known from work of Bruhat and Tits that an affine building has a spherical building at infinity. The paper studies the structure at infinity for an affine {\em twin} building. It is shown that the twinning restricts the structure at infinity in a natural way, producing two smaller spherical buildings that are canonically isomorphic to one another. In the process it is shown that to each wall and panel of these buildings at infinity is attached a twin tree.
