The compact building strong transitivity characterization conjecture

Let Δ\Delta be an infinite thick irreducible compact spherical building of rank at least 22. Strong transitivity characterization conjecture. The building Δ\Delta is the spherical building associated with a semisimple algebraic group over a non-discrete locally compact field if and only if Δ\Delta is strongly transitive. This extends the known characterization for connected compact buildings; the paper notes that strong transitivity could even be replaced by chamber transitivity, while the general disconnected case remains open.
