On compression of Bruhat-Tits buildings

We obtain an analog of the compression of angles theorem in symmetric spaces for Bruhat--Tits buildings of the type $A$. More precisely, consider a $p$-adic linear space $V$ and the set $Lat(V)$ of all lattices in $V$. The complex distance in $Lat(V)$ is a complete system of invariants of a pair of points of $Lat(V)$ under the action of the complete linear group. An element of a Nazarov semigroup is a lattice in the duplicated linear space $V\oplus V$. We investigate behavior of the complex distance under the action of the Nazarov semigroup on the set $Lat(V)$.Comment: 6 page

Infinite tri-symmetric group, multiplication of double cosets, and checker topological field theories

We consider a product of three copies of infinite symmetric group and its representations spherical with respect to the diagonal subgroup. We show that such representations generate functors from a certain category of simplicial two-dimensional surfaces to the category of Hilbert spaces and bounded linear operators.Comment: 29 pages, 10 figure

Infinite-dimensional pp-adic groups, semigroups of double cosets, and inner functions on Bruhat--Tits builldings

We construct $p$-adic analogs of operator colligations and their characteristic functions. Consider a $p$-adic group $G=GL(\alpha+k\infty, Q_p)$, its subgroup $L=O(k\infty,Z_p)$, and the subgroup $K=O(\infty,Z_p)$ embedded to $L$ diagonally. We show that double cosets $\Gamma= K\setminus G/K$ admit a structure of a semigroup, $\Gamma$ acts naturally in $K$-fixed vectors of unitary representations of $G$. For each double coset we assign a 'characteristic function', which sends a certain Bruhat--Tits building to another building (buildings are finite-dimensional); image of the distinguished boundary is contained in the distinguished boundary. The latter building admits a structure of (Nazarov) semigroup, the product in $\Gamma$ corresponds to a point-wise product of characteristic functions.Comment: new version of the paper, 47pp, 3 figure
