Abstract

Let G be a connected, non-commutative, absolutely almost simple \(\mathbb{F}_{q}\)-group. In this chapter we want to determine the finiteness length of \(\mathbf{G}(\mathbb{F}_{q}[t,t^{-1}])\). We have already seen that there is a locally finite irreducible Euclidean twin building on which the group acts strongly transitively so in geometric language we have to show
