The result applies to all irreducible (non-spherical and non-affine) Kac-Moody groups over integral domains. In particular, we obtain finitely presented simple groups of infinite commutator width, thereby answering a question of Valerii G. Bardakov from the Kourovka notebook. Independently of these considerations, we also include a discussion of rank one isometries of proper CAT(0) spaces from a rigidity viewpoint. In an appendix, we show that any homogeneous quasi-morphism of a locally compact group with integer values is continuous.19 pages; some typos have been corrected and the list of references updatedGroup Theory20F65; 20E42; 20E32; 22E65Rank one isometries of buildings and quasi-morphisms of Kac-Moody groupstext
