摘要

Diagram geometry has its roots in the work of Tits during the 1950s when he was searching for suitable axioms for the combinatorial structures which are nowadays known as buildings. The starting point was the observation that the Dynkin-diagram A_n has a natural interpretation in terms of the n -dimensional projective geometry. The Dynkin-diagram A_n is associated with the semi-simple group SL_(n+1) which has a natural action on n-dimensional projective space. Tits' programme was to look for similar geometries for the semi-simple groups of the remaining types. In view of the interpretation of the diagram A_n for n-dimensional projective geometry, it was natural to guess that the diagram should be a central ingredient in the definition of the desired objects. This led Tits to the definition of a geometry over a Dynkin-diagram. Later on, however, he realized that the Bruhat decomposition provides a more direct approach to the link between Lie-theory and combinatorics. This had the effect that diagram geometries only played a minor role in Tits' theory of buildings and BN-pairs. Although one can consider buildings as diagram geometries, there is a priori no diagram required in their definition. Moreover, the slightly more abstract notion of a building turned out to be much more efficient. As a consequence the theory of diagram geometries was not pushed further for a while.
