Fixed-point conjecture for convex subsets of spherical buildings

Let BB be a spherical building and let CBC\subseteq B be a closed convex subset. Fixed-point conjecture. Either CC is a subbuilding, or the action

Isom(C)CIsom(C)\curvearrowright C

has a fixed point. This generalizes the Center Conjecture from convex subcomplexes to arbitrary closed convex subsets and replaces the stabilizer action by the full isometry group. The source reports that the conjecture was known when dim(C)2\dim(C)\leq 2; the paper studies the remaining cases.
