DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/SiN/38/">Aut
 omorphisms and opposition in spherical buildings.</a>\nby James Parkinson 
 (University of Sydney) as part of Symmetry in Newcastle\n\nLecture held in
  SR118\, University Drive\, Callaghan.\n\nAbstract\nThe geometry of elemen
 ts fixed by an automorphism of a spherical building is a rich and well-stu
 died object\, intimately connected to the theory of Galois descent in buil
 dings. In recent years\, a complementary theory has emerged investigating 
 the geometry of elements mapped onto opposite elements by a given automorp
 hism. In this talk we will give an overview of this theory. This work is j
 oint primarily with Hendrik Van Maldeghem (along with others).\n
