Distances between fixed-point sets in metrically complete 2-dimensional Euclidean buildings are realised

Harris Leung, Jeroen Schillewaert and Anne Thomas

Vol. 20 (2023), No. 2-3, 341–351
Abstract

We prove that if two finitely generated groups act by isometries on a metrically complete 2-dimensional Euclidean building, then the distance between their fixed-point sets is realised. Our proof uses the geometry of Euclidean buildings, which we view as CAT (0) spaces, and properties of ultrapowers of Euclidean buildings.
