Abstract: We show that a 3-spherical building in which each rank 2 residue is connected far away from a chamber, and each rank 3 residue is simply 2-connected far away from a chamber, admits a twinning (i.e., is one half of a twin building) as soon as it admits a codistance, i.e., a twinning with a single chamber.

Review text

Let \(\mathcal B\) be a building such that each rank 2 residue is connected far away from a chamber, and each rank 3 residue is spherical and simply 2-connected far away from a chamber; these assumptions hold if the diagram of the building \(\mathcal B\) is simply laced and each panel contains at least 4 chambers. If \(\mathcal B\) admits a codistance (i.e.\ a twinning with a single chamber), then \(\mathcal B\) admits a twinning, which means that \(\mathcal B\) is one half of a twin building.
