Abstract

The classification of locally finite classical Tits chamber systems C of finite rank admitting a transitive group G of automorphisms, such that the stabilizer in G of some chamber is finite, is now complete by work of several authors. In the following, the case, that on a rank 2 residue of C some exceptional flag-transitive subgroup of Aut(U 4(3)) or Aut(PSp4(3)) is induced by G, is treated.
