While the proof of the general Rank Theorem uses an involved reduction theory due to Harder, by imposing the restrictions that the group is split and that S has only two places, one can instead make use of the theory of twin buildings."--Page 4 of coverBuildings (Group theory)Finite geometrieshttp://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-319-06477-2An electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web.b1430575603-03-2201-08-16991003265589707536Finiteness properties of arithmetic groups acting on twin buildings1392283UNISALENTOle01301-08-16m@ -engsz 00
