Abstract: Let $mathbfG$ be a reductive Chevalley group scheme (defined over $mathbbZ$). Let $mathcalC$ be a smooth, projective, geometrically integral curve over a field $mathbbF$. Let $P$ be a closed point on $mathcalC$. Let $A$ be the ring of functions that are regular outside $lbracePbrace$. The fraction field $k$ of $A$ has a discrete valuation $u=u_P:k^{imes}ightarrowmathbbZ$ associated to $P$. In this work, we study the action of the group $extbfG(A)$ of $A$-points of $mathbfG$ on the Bruhat-Tits building $mathcalX=mathcalX(extbfG,k,u_P)$ in order to describe the structure of the orbit space $$. We obtain that this orbit space is the ``gluing of a closed connected CW-complex with some sector chambers. The latter are parametrized by a set depending on the Picard group of $mathcalCsmallsetminusP$ and on the rank of $mathbfG$. Moreover, we observe that any rational sector face whose tip is a special vertex contains a subsector face that embeds into this orbit space.
