β¦ Synopsis
In this paper we prove that the only locally finite, thick flag-transitive C.. L geometries with n/> 3 are truncations of polar spaces. We recall that for n = 2 an example of thick flag-transitive geometry which is not a truncated polar space has been given by Ronan (1980Ronan ( , 1986)). Moreover, we prove that no flag-transitive thick C2. Af. A,-2. L geometry exists with classical generalized quadrangles as lower residues of elements of type 2, except possibly when q = 3 or 4. However there are examples of flag-transitive thick C2. Af. An-2. L geometries where the lower residue of a plane is isomorphic to the generalized quadrangle dual of T*(O).

Construction and characterization is given for three new flag-transitive non-classical extended generalized quadrangles. They are simply connected with point-residues the non-classical generalized quadrangle \(T_{2}^{*}\left(O_{4}\right)\) and its dual \(T_{2}^{* *}\left(O_{4}\right)\).
Recently there has been renewed interest in a class of geometries introduced by Tits many years ago. Part of this interest stems from Tits' paper [-6] which characterizes buildings as the simply connected geometries with Coxeter diagram in which all residues of type C 3 and H 3 are buildings. Defin
## ABSTRACTΒ° Let F be a finite thick geometry of type C n (n ~ 4) or F4. We prove that F is a building iff Aut(F) is flag-transitive.
