Then we define a continuous map from the projective space to this compactification which extends the reduction map from Drinfeld's p-adic symmetric domain to the building.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2002-09-11T09:15:41.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20E42", "20G25" ], "keywords": [ "bruhat-tits building", "compactification", "drinfelds p-adic symmetric domain", "reduction map", "homothety classes" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2002math......9116W" } } }
