He proved that, in analogy with the spherical case, every building of affine type and rank at least four arises from a group. 2573:

A similar result holds for irreducible affine buildings of dimension greater than 2 (their buildings "at infinity" are spherical of rank greater than two). In lower rank or dimension, there is no such classification. Indeed, each

The second axiom follows by a variant of the Schreier refinement argument. The last axiom follows by a simple counting argument based on the orders of finite Abelian groups of the form 2462:.
