On Tits Buildings of Type A_n

Publication date 26 November 2003

Abstract: Let

P

and

P^{'}

be projective spaces having the same dimension

n

assumed to be finite. Let

D e l t a

and

D e l t a^{'}

be buildings of type

A_{n}

. We consider mappings of chambers of

D e l t a

into chambers of

D e l t a^{'}

which send appartments to appartments. It is shown that shuch mappings are induced by strong embeddings of

P

into

P^{'}

or into the dual space

P^{' *}

.
