Convexity conjecture for thick generalized affine buildings

Let XX be an affine building modeled over A=A(R,Λ,T)\mathbb{A}=\mathbb{A}(\mathrm{R},\Lambda,T), where TT is a proper translation subgroup of Λn\Lambda^n. Let AA be an apartment identified with A\mathbb{A}, and fix an origin and a fundamental chamber. Let rr be the retraction onto AA centered at the corresponding sector germ, and let ρ\rho be the retraction onto AA centered at the opposite chamber at infinity. Assume that XX is thick with respect to WT\overline{W}T. For a special vertex xx in AA, convexity conjecture.

ρ(r1(W.x))=conv(W.x)(x+T).\rho\bigl(r^{-1}(\overline{W}.x)\bigr)=\operatorname{conv}(\overline{W}.x)\cap(x+T).

This conjecture seeks an analogue, for generalized affine buildings with a proper translation subgroup, of the convexity result established earlier for the preceding class of buildings. It predicts that the image under the retraction ρ\rho is exactly the convex hull of the W\overline{W}-orbit of xx, restricted to the coset x+Tx+T.
