Simplicial volumes in Bruhat-Tits buildings of split classical type
Abstract
In a Bruhat-Tits building of split classical type (that is, of type An, Bn, Cn, Dn, and any combination of them) over a local field, the simplicial volume counts the vertices within the given simplicial distance from a special vertex. This paper aims to study the asymptotic growth of the simplicial volume. A formula of the simplicial volume is deduced from the theory of concave functions. Then the dominant term in its asymptotic growth is found using the theory of q-exponential polynomials developed in this paper.
