Beschreibung
This text started out as a revised version of Buildings by the second-named author [53], but it has grown into a much more voluminous book. The earlier book was intended to give a short, friendly, elementary introduction to theory, accessible to readers with a minimal background.Moreover, it approached buildings from only one point of view, sometimes called the ¿old-fashioned¿ approach: A building is a simplicial complex with certain properties. The current book includes all the material of the earlier one, but we have added a lot. In particular, we have included the ¿modern¿ (or ¿W-metric¿) approach to buildings, which looks quite different from the old-fashioned approach but is equivalent to it. This has become increasingly important in the theory and applications of buildings. We have also added a thorough treatment of the Moufang property, which occupies two chapters. And we have added many new exercises and illustrations. Some of the exercises have hints or solutions in the back of the book. A more extensive set of solutions is available in a separate solutions manual, which may be obtained from Springer¿s Mathematics Editorial Department. We have tried to add the new material in such a way that readers who are content with the old-fashioned approach can still get an elementary treatment of it by reading selected chapters or sections. In particular, many readers will want to omit the optional sections (marked with a star). The introduction below provides more detailed guidance to the reader.

Über den Autor

Kenneth S. Brown has been a professor at Cornell since 1971. He received his Ph.D. in 1971 from MIT. He has published many works, including Buildings with Springer-Verlag in 1989, reprinted in 1998.

Peter Abramenko received his Ph.D. in 1987 from the University of Frankfurt, Germany. He held various academic positions afterwards, including a Heisenberg fellowship from 1998 until 2001. Since 2001, he is Associate Professor at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. He has previously published Twin Buildings and Applications to S-Arithmetic Groups for the Lecture Notes in Mathematics series for Springer (1996).

Zusammenfassung
Contains all of the material from the previous book, Buildings by K. S. Brown (a short, friendly, elementary introduction to the theory of buildings), and substantially revised, updated, new material
Includes advanced content that is appropriate for more advanced students or for self-study, including two new chapters on the Moufang propert
Introduces many new exercises and illustrations, as well as hints and solutions--including a separate, extensive solutions manual
Thoroughly focuses on all three approachs to buildings, "old-fashioned," combinatorial (chamber systems), and metric so that the reader can learn all three or focus on only one
Includes appendices on cell complexes, root systems and algebraic groups
