conjugacy in adjoint representation
Here is a partial answer. Let first $G=PGL(n)$. Let $g$ have eigenvalues $\lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_n$ (up to a scalar). Then $\rho(g)$ has eigenvalues $\lambda_i\lambda_j^{-1}$ with $i,j=1,\ldots,n$. ...

Does the "building of parabolics" of a semisimple group have a simplex corresponding to the entire group?
@UriyaFirst points out that every abstract simplicial complex must have an empty face of dimension $-1$, and it would make sense for this to correspond to the entire group. (This is consistent with ...
