Asymptotic K-theory for groups acting on $\tildeA_2$ buildings

Let $Γ$ be a torsion free lattice in $G=\PGL(3,{\mathbb F})$ where ${\mathbb F}$ is a nonarchimedean local field. Then $Γ$ acts freely on the affine Bruhat-Tits building ${\mathcal B}$ of $G$ and there is an induced action on the boundary $Ω$ of ${\mathcal B}$. The crossed product $C^*$-algebra ${\mathcal A}(Γ)=C(Ω) \rtimes Γ$ depends only on $Γ$ and is classified by its K-theory. This article shows how to compute the K-theory of ${\mathcal A}(Γ)$ and of the larger class of rank two Cuntz-Krieger algebras.
