Diagram Geometry Related to Classical Groups and Buildings /

This book provides a self-contained introduction to diagram geometry.  Tight connections with group theory are shown. It treats thin geometries (related to Coxeter groups) and thick buildings from a diagrammatic perspective. Projective and affine geometry are main examples.  Polar geometry is motiva...
