Title: On automorphisms and opposition in spherical buildings.
Abstract: The opposition relation is fundamental in Tits' theory of spherical and twin buildings. When studying automorphisms of such buildings it is of course natural to consider fixed element structures, however it is also fruitful and instructive to investigate the structure of the elements mapped to opposite elements by the automorphism. In this talk we discuss recent developments in this theory, drawing from joint work with A. Devillers, B. Temmermans, and H. Van Maldeghem.
