Abstract

We prove a rank 3 criterion for the simple connectedness of certain subsets of buildings and we give two applications of this criterion. The first generalizes a result of Tits for Chevalley groups to 3-spherical Kac-Moody groups. The second is the proof of the simple connectedness of certain flipflop geometries introduced in [Bennett C., Gramlich R., Hoffman C., Shpectorov S.: Curtis-Phan-Tits theory. In: Groups, combinatorics and geometry (Durham, 2001). World Sci. Publishing, River Edge, NJ, 2003, 13–29].
