This chapter presents results about a residually pseudo-split Bruhat-Tits building Ξ‎L. It begins with a case for some quadratic space of type E⁶, E₇, and E₈ in order to identify an unramified extension such that the residue field is a pseudo-splitting field. It then considers a wild quaternion or octonion division algebra and the existence of an unramified quadratic extension L/K such that L is a splitting field of the quaternion division algebra. It also discusses the properties of an unramified extension L/K and shows that every exceptional Bruhat-Tits building is the fixed point building of a strictly semi-linear descent group of a residually pseudo-split building.

Keywords:   quadratic space, Bruhat-Tits building, residue, pseudo-splitting field, octonion division algebra, unramified quadratic extension, quaternion division algebra, fixed point building, descent group, residually pseudo-split building
