Λ-buildings and base change functors
arXiv:0910.1482 · doi:10.1007/s10711-011-9611-2
Abstract
We prove an analog of the base change functor of Λ-trees in the setting of generalized affine buildings. The proof is mainly based on local and global combinatorics of the associated spherical buildings. As an application we obtain that the class of generalized affine building is closed under ultracones and asymptotic cones. Other applications involve a complex of groups decompositions and fixed point theorems for certain classes of generalized affine buildings.
