We prove that, given a random walk on $G$, isometries in $G$ are strongly regular hyperbolic with high probability. As a consequence, we prove a Tits alternative for $G$, as well as a local-to-global fixed point result. We also prove that isometries of (not necessarily complete) $\\mathbb{R}$-buildings are semi-simple.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-11-06T20:42:40.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20F65", "20E42", "60G50" ], "keywords": [ "tits alternative", "local-to-global fixed point result", "isometries", "non-elementary action", "high probability" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 25, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
