| Résumé : | La 4e de couverture indique : "The theory of buildings was developed, mainly by Jacques Tits in the 1950s, in an attempt to develop a systematic interpretation of semi-simple Lie groups, particularly the exceptional groups. This book presents an up-to-date account of this theory, including the new developments, e.g. chamber systems, introduced by Tits in the 1980s. The book starts from basic principles and later deals with important classes of buildings, particularly those of spherical and affine type. Special topics, including two tables on finite buildings and groups, are included in six appendices". |
