The strong Tits Centre Conjecture for spherical edifices
The strong Tits Centre Conjecture for spherical edifices
Let be a connected reductive group over a field , let be the relevant ordered field, and let be its spherical edifice. A closed convex subset is completely reducible if every has an opposite in . If stabilises , a point is a -centre when and the simplex is fixed by ; it is unopposed when it has no opposite in .
Strong Tits Centre Conjecture. If is a closed convex non-completely-reducible subset of , then has an unopposed -centre.
This is a point-edifice analogue of the Tits Centre Conjecture and is weaker than the version asserting a -fixed point, which the source notes is false without an isometric-action hypothesis. Its general status is not specified in the supplied text.
