✦ Synopsis


These Notes Are A Slightly Revised And Extended Version Of Mim- Graphed Notes Written On The Occasion Of A Seminar On Buildings And Bn-pairs Held At Oberwolfach In April 1968. Their Main Purpose Is To Present The Solution Of The Following Two Problems: (a) Determination Of The Buildings Of Rank >; And Irreducible, Spherical Type, Other Than ~ And H (of Spherical Type Means With Finite Weyl 4 Group, About The Excluded Types H, Cf. The Addenda On P. 274). Roughly Speaking, Those Buildings All Turn Out To Be Associated To Simple Algebraic Or Classical Groups (cf. 6. ;, 6. 1;, 8. 4. ;, 8. 22, 9. 1, 10. 2). An Easy Application Provides The Enumeration Of All Finite Groups With Bn-pairs Of Irreducible Type And Rank >;, Up To Normal Subgroups Contained In B (cf. 11. 7). (b) Determination Of All Isomorphisms Between Buildings Of Rank > 2 And Spherical Type Associated To Algebraic Or Classical Simple Groups And, In PartiΒ­ Cular, Description Of The Full Automorphism Groups Of Such Buildings (cf. 5. 8, 5. 9, 5. 10, 6. 6, 6. 1;, 8. 6, 9. ;, 10. 4). Except For The Appendices, The Notes Are Rather Strictly Oriented - Ward These Goals. Complexes -- Coxeter Complexes -- Buildings -- Reduction -- The Building Of A Semi-simple Algebraic Group -- Buildings Of Type An, Dn, En -- Buildings Of Type Cn. I. Polar Spaces -- Buildings Of Type Cn. Ii. Projective Embeddings Of Polar Spaces -- Buildings Of Type Cn. Iii. Non-embeddable Polar Spaces -- Buildings Of Type F4 -- Finite Bn-pairs Of Irreducible Type And Rank ? 3 -- Appendix 1. Shadows -- Appendix 2. Generators And Relations. By J. Tits.

Let G be a simple group of ÿnite Morley rank with a deÿnable BN-pair of (Tits) rank 2 where B = UT for T = B ∩ N and U a normal subgroup of B with Z(U ) = 1. By (Forum Math. 13 (2001) 853) the Weyl group W = N=T has cardinality 2n with n = 3; 4; 6; 8 or 12. We prove here: Theorem 1. If n = 3, then
