Review text

This is a survey on a long-lasting project, initiated by Buekenhout, to find interesting geometries for all of the finite simple groups, including the sporadic ones (i.e. to generalize buildings, which are the geometries for groups of Lie type). The authors report on various ideas concerning such a collection of geometries, and on the results obtained so far. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1050.51002].
