Random induced subcomplexes of thick finite buildings are asymptotically spherical

About 5 years old · traced to

Let d∈Nd \in \mathbb{N} and let (Δn)n∈N(\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 n→∞n \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

lim⁡n→∞∣S(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.
