| − | His academic career includes professorships at the [[Free University of Brussels]] (now split into the [[Université Libre de Bruxelles]] and the [[Vrije Universiteit Brussel]])(1962-1964), the [[University of Bonn]] (1964-1974) and the [[Collège de France]] in [[Paris]], until becoming [[emeritus]] in 2000. He has been a French citizen and a member of the [[French Academy of Sciences]] since 1974.

| − | He introduced the theory of ''buildings'' (now known as ''[[Bruhat–Tits building]]s''), which are combinatorial structures on which groups act, in many cases of interest in [[algebraic group]] theory (including [[finite group]]s, and groups defined over the [[p-adic number]]s). The related theory of [[(B, N) pair]]s is a basic tool in the theory of [[groups of Lie type]]. He also classified all [[polar space]]s of rank at least three and introduced the [[generalized n-gons]]. Another of his well known theorems is the "[[Tits alternative]]": if ''G'' is a [[finitely generated group|finitely generated]] [[subgroup]] of a [[linear group]], then either ''G'' has a [[solvable subgroup]] of [[finite index]] or it has a [[free subgroup]] of rank 2.

| − | Tits received the [[Wolf Prize in Mathematics]] in 1993, the [[Cantor Medal]] from the [[Deutsche Mathematiker-Vereinigung]] (German Mathematical Society) in 1996, and the German distinction "[[Pour le Mérite]]". In 2008 he was awarded the [[Abel Prize]], along with [[John Griggs Thompson]], “for their profound achievements in algebra and in particular for shaping modern group theory.” He is a member of several Academies of Sciences.
