Groups and Combinatorics Seminar
Alice Devillers (UWA)
will speak on
Automorphisms and opposition in twin buildings.
at 11am on Wednesday 9th of May in MLR2.
Abstract: Opposition in twin buildings generalises the notion of opposition in spherical buildings. With James Parkison and Hendrik Van Maldeghem, we looked at automorphisms mapping some/all residues to opposite residues.For instance we proved that an automorphism of a thick twin building (swapping the two halves) always maps at least one spherical residue to an opposite. However, if the building is also locally finite and 2-spherical, then not every residue of a given type can be mapped to an opposite.
