Let \(K\) be a non-archimedean local field and \(G = GL_{d+1}(K)\). Let \(\text{Alg}(G)\) denote the category of linear representations of \(G\) in complex vector spaces such that the stabilizer of each vector is open in \(G\). Let \(U\) be the principal congruence subgroup of level \(n\) in \(G\). The authors construct for any representation in \(\text{Alg}(G)\) which is generated by its \(U\)-fixed vectors a resolution which has nice finiteness and projectivity properties. As a consequence, the finiteness results for certain Ext-groups in \(\text{Alg}(G)\) and also for the homology of cocompact (mod center) discrete subgroups with certain infinite dimensional coefficients are obtained. The considerations are based on a coefficient system on the Bruhat-Tits building of \(G\) which is associated with any representation in \(\text{Alg}(G)\). The resolutions are obtained by means of the homology complex of oriented chains naturally belonging to such a coefficient system.
