contents An automorphism of a building is called uniclass if the Weyl distance between any chamber and its image lies in a unique (twisted) conjugacy class of the Coxeter group. In a previous paper we characterised uniclass automorphisms of spherical buildings in terms of their fixed structure. In the present paper we restrict to the simply laced case and characterise uniclass automorphisms in terms of a spectral gap property. More precisely, we show that an automorphism of a thick irreducible spherical building of simply laced type is uniclass if and only if no point of the long root subgroup geometry is mapped to distance $1$ or codistance $1$.

In the present paper we restrict to the simply laced case and characterise uniclass automorphisms in terms of a spectral gap property.
