SUMMARY:Buildings\, surfaces and quaternions - Alina Vdovina (Newcastle Un
 iversity)

DESCRIPTION:Buildings are exciting objects which have geometric\, algebrai
 c and number theoretical aspects. We will give elementary constructions of
  several classes of buildings as universal covers of finite complexes.   T
 hen (as a geometric application) we will show a connection of our results 
 with Gromov&#39\;s surface subgroup question and (as an arithmetic  applic
 ation) we will give explicit examples of quaternionic lattices.  <br><br><
