Abstract

Let G be a almost-simple, simply connected and connected Lie group over a local field and S a subsemigroup with non-empty interior. Studying the action of the regular hyperbolic elements in the interior of S on the flag manifold G / P and on the associated euclidean building, we prove the existence and uniqueness of the invariant control set. Moreover we provide a characterization of the set of transitivity of the control sets: the elements of set of transitivity are the fixed points of type w for a regular hyperbolic isometry, where w is a element of the Weyl group of G. Thus, for each w in W there is a control set Dw and W(S) the subgroup of the Weyl group such that the control set Dw coincide with the invariant control set DI is a Weyl subgroup of W. At last, we derived that the control sets are parametrized by the lateral classes W(S) (AU)
