Abstract

In this paper, we prove a combinatorial property of twin apartments and opposition of chambers in twin buildings. We then characterize adjacency of chambers in twin buildings by meansof opposition of chambers. As an application, we study maps which satisfy certain conditions related to opposition of chambers, e.g., maps that preserve opposition. Applied to the special case of spherical buildings, all our main results as well as their corollaries are new.
