Review text

The preliminary section starts with results on local fields \(K\) of dimension 2. A local field \(K\) of dimension 2 is the quotient field of a (complete) discrete valuation ring \({\mathcal O}_K\) with residue field \(\overline K\) a local field of dimension 1, i.e. \(\overline K\) is the quotient field of a discrete valuation ring with residue field \(k\) (of dimension \(0\)). Let \(G=\text{PGL}(V)\), \(V\) be a vector space of dimension \(2\) over \(K\). The constructions of Weyl group (a non-Coxeter group), Bruhat-decomposition, Bruhat-Tits tree for \(G\) over the 1-dimensional local field \(K/\overline K\) are given. The final and main section is devoted to the construction and study of the Bruhat-Tits tree for \(G\) over local field \(K\) of dimension \(2\). Let \(\Delta=\Delta(G,K/\overline K/k)\) and \(\Delta'=\Delta'(G,K/\overline K)\) be the associated simplicial topological spaces for Bruhat-Tits trees and \(|\Delta|,|\Delta'|\) their geometric realisations. Theorem. (i) \(|\Delta|\) is a connected contractible topological space of dimension \(1\) with a cell structure (but not a CW-complex). (ii) Every \(x\in|\Delta|\) has a neighbourhood homeomorphic to a bouquet of intervals. (iii) \(G\) acts on \(|\Delta|\) by homeomorphisms. (iv) There is a \(G\)-equivariant surjective simplicial map \(\pi\colon\Delta\to\Delta'\) with \(|\pi|\) a continuous map. (v) For \([L]\in\Delta\) corresponding to a lattice \(L\) in \(V,\pi^{-1}[L]\) is isomorphic to \(\Delta'(\text{PGL}(\overline K)^2,\overline K/k)\). (vi) \(\pi\) induces a bijection between apartments of \(\Delta\) and \(\Delta'\). (vii) On the set \(\Delta_0[2]\) of inner points of \(\Delta\), there is a \(G\) invariant metric \(d\) for which \(\pi\) is a distance decreasing map. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0863.00012].
