Random induced subcomplexes of thick finite buildings are asymptotically spherical

Let dNd \in \mathbb{N} and let (Δn)nN(\Delta_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}} be a sequence of finite dd-dimensional buildings whose thickness satisfies

th(Δn)\operatorname{th}(\Delta_n) \rightarrow \infty

as nn \rightarrow \infty. Let P(Δn)\mathcal{P}(\Delta_n) denote the induced subcomplexes of Δn\Delta_n, and let S(Δn)\mathcal{S}(\Delta_n) denote the set of dd-dimensional spherical subcomplexes. The general spherical-subcomplex conjecture. Then

limnS(Δn)P(Δn)=1.\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{\left\lvert \mathcal{S}(\Delta_n) \right\rvert}{\left\lvert \mathcal{P}(\Delta_n) \right\rvert}=1.

This generalizes the type AA expectation to arbitrary sequences of finite buildings of fixed dimension and increasing thickness. It is stated as an expected consequence of the preceding conjecture, and no proof or resolution is supplied.
