Abstract

Let G be a locally compact group acting properly, by type-preserving automorphisms on a locally finite thick Euclidean building δ , and K be the stabilizer of a special vertex in δ. It is known that (G, K) is a Gelfand pair as soon as G acts strongly transitively on δ ; in particular, this is the case when G is a semi-simple algebraic group over a local field. We show a converse to this statement, namely that if (G, K) is a Gelfand pair and G acts cocompactly on δ , then the action is strongly transitive. The proof uses the existence of strongly regular hyperbolic elements in G and their peculiar dynamics on the spherical building at infinity. Other equivalent formulations are also obtained, including the fact that G is strongly transitive on δ if and only if it is strongly transitive on the spherical building at infinity.
