Moufang quadrangles and affine twin buildings of type $\tilde{C}_2$

Bernhard Mühlherr and Hendrik Van Maldeghem

Vol. 20 (2023), No. 2-3, 431–441
Abstract

We prove a group-theoretic criterion in terms of root groups for two subquadrangles Γ1,Γ3 of a Moufang quadrangle Γ to arise from a Moufang twin building Δ of type C~2 as two adjacent residues of distinct special type, naturally embedded in the building at infinity of Δ, which is contained in Γ.
