Aspects of buildings
Buildings are certain chamber systems which are rather closely related to geometries, at least in the finite rank case. The author gives a number of criteria which work both in the finite and the infinite rank case characterizing buildings as chamber systems with certain properties. The crucial point is the graph theoretic concept of being `strongly gated', which essentially says that distance between vertices of the graphs can be measured with respect to a fixed element. Among the characterizations he gives a correction of a (minor) flaw in a result of \textit{R. Scharlau} [J. Lond. Math. Soc., II. Ser. 32, 317-327 (1985; Zbl 0584.51002)]. He discusses the connection between geometries and chamber systems of finite rank and points out some questions and speculations about the situation for infinite rank. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0883.00017].
