Conjugation by $g$ as a self-homeomorphism of a topological group $G$.
Instances For
The conjugate $gSg^{-1}$ of a subset $S \subseteq G$.
Instances For
$gSg^{-1}$ as the image of $S$ under the conjugation map.
Conjugation preserves compactness.
Conjugation preserves openness.
Conjugation preserves closedness.
The pointwise fixer is closed under inversion.
The fixer of a union is the intersection of fixers: $\mathrm{Fix}(\bigcup_i C_i) = \bigcap_i \mathrm{Fix}(C_i)$.
The fixer of a translated set equals the conjugate of the fixer: $\mathrm{Fix}(h \cdot C_0) = h \,\mathrm{Fix}(C_0)\, h^{-1}$.
The pointwise fixer of a finite union of $G$-translates of the base chamber $C_0$ is both open and compact, given that the Borel subgroup $B$ fixes $C_0$ and is itself compact open.
Any sequence valued in a compact subgroup $B$ has a cluster point in $B$.
A cluster point of $u_n$ has neighbourhoods $V$ which contain $u_i$ for arbitrarily large $i$.
Right-multiplying by an element of the fixer of $Y$ does not change the action on points of $Y$.
A coset-of-fixer argument: if $g$ can be written as $b_j f$ with $f$ in the fixer of each $Y_i$, and the $b_j$ send $Y_i$ into $A_0$, then $g$ sends the union $\bigcup_i Y_i$ into $A_0$.
Core technical lemma for strong transitivity: given a compact-open Borel $B$ acting on a topological building, an apartment $A'$ exhausted by an ascending chain $Y_i$ each mapped into the base apartment $A_0$ by elements $b_i \in B$, one finds a single $g \in B$ with $g \cdot A' = A_0$.
A bundle of data abstracting a thick building $X$ with a strongly transitive topological group action: the action and base chamber $C_0 \subseteq A_0$, a compact-open Borel $B$ that fixes $C_0$ pointwise, the notion of chamber, the maximal apartment system, chamber transitivity, and exhaustion data for each apartment.

Maximally strong transitivity (Bourbaki/Tits): the group $G$ acts transitively on pairs $(C', A')$ where $C'$ is a chamber contained in an apartment $A'$ of the maximal system — there is $g \in G$ sending the pair $(C', A')$ to the base pair $(C_0, A_0)$.
For an ascending chain of apartments $A_i$ each sent to $A_0$ by $b_i$, the composite $(b_i)^{-1} b_j$ sends $A_j$ back to $A_i$.
If $g \cdot A = A_0$, then $A = g^{-1} \cdot A_0$.
Strong transitivity on apartments: every apartment of the maximal system is $G$-translated to the base apartment $A_0$.
Maximality corollary: any $G$-stable apartment system $\mathcal{A}$ containing $A_0$ and lying inside the maximal apartment system already equals the maximal apartment system.
