Abstract

A vertex-transitive graph X is called local-to-global rigid if there exists R such that every other graph whose balls of radius R are isometric to the balls of radius R in X is covered by X. Let d ≥ 4. We show that the 1-skeleton of an affine Bruhat-Tits building of type Ãd-1 is local-to-global rigid if and only if the underlying field has characteristic 0. For example, the Bruhat-Tits building of SL(d,Fp((t))) is not local-to-global rigid, while the Bruhat-Tits building of SL(d,Qp) is local-toglobal rigid.
