Due to some bad properties, we call this I a hovel. Nevertheless I has some good properties, for example the existence of retractions with center a sector-germ. This enables us to generalize many results proved in the semi-simple case by S. Gaussent and P. Littelmann [Duke Math. J; 127 (2005), 35-88]. In particular, if K= C((t)), the geodesic segments in I, with a given special vertex as end point and a good image under some retraction, are parametrized by a Zariski open subset P of C^N. This dimension N is maximum when this image is a LS path and then P is closely related to some Mirkovic-Vilonen cycle.54 pagesGroup TheoryRepresentation Theory22E46; 20G05; 17B67; 22E65; 20E42; 51E24Kac-Moody groups, hovels and Littelmann's pathstext
