Spherical subcomplexes of spherical buildings

Bernd Schulz

Geometry & Topology 17 (2013) 531–562
Abstract

Let Δ be a thick, spherical building equipped with its natural CAT(1) metric and let M be a proper, convex subset of Δ. If M is open or if M is a closed ball of radius π2, then Λ, the maximal subcomplex supported by Δ M, is dimΛ–spherical and non-contractible.
