In this study group aimed at advanced Master students, doctoral students, as well as postdocs, we will assume a basic knowledge of the structure theory of buldings and will examine some more advanced topics. One particular focus will be on chamber complexes that can be obtained as quotients of buildings. Therefore we will in particular investigate the construction of arithemtic subgroups which will allow to construct discrete subgroups of the automorphism group of such buildings.aim to understand, how comcopact srithemtic subgroups that act on Bruhat Tits builings can be constructed. We also explore the analogies to arithemtic subgroups of real Lie groups that act on Riemannian symmetric spaces.
