Locally elliptic actions on Davis realizations have a global fixed point
Locally elliptic actions on Davis realizations have a global fixed point
Let be a group acting by type-preserving simplicial isometries on a building . Let be the Davis realization of , and call the action locally elliptic if every element of has a fixed point in . Fixed-point conjecture. If the -action on is locally elliptic, then has a global fixed point in
where denotes the visual boundary of . This would generalize the fixed-point result for almost connected locally compact groups acting on trees and would imply the preceding conjecture that every almost connected locally compact group has property ; the status of the assertion is not resolved in the supplied text.
