Groups acting on trees (20E08) Groups with a (BN)-pair; buildings (20E42) Asymptotic properties of groups (20F69) Infinite-dimensional Lie groups and their Lie algebras: general properties (22E65) Buildings and the geometry of diagrams (51E24)

Abstract: We show that twin building lattices have linear divergence, which implies that all asymptotic cones are without cut-points.
