چکیده
We present an algorithm to decide whether or not a finitely generated subgroup of the isometry group locally finite simplicial tree is both discrete and free. The correctness this relies on following conjecture: every ‘minimal’ n-tuple isometries either contains elliptic element satisfies hypotheses Ping Pong Lemma. prove conjecture for n=2,3, show that it implies generalisation Ihara's Theorem.

Zeta Functions of Discrete Groups Acting on Trees
This paper generalizes Bass’ work on zeta functions for uniform tree lattices. Using the theory of von Neumann algebras, machinery is developed to define the zeta function of a discrete group of automorphisms of a bounded degree tree. The main theorems relate the zeta function to determinants of operators defined on edges or vertices of the tree. A zeta function associated to a non-uniform tree...
متن کاملFree subgroups in groups acting on rooted trees
We show that if a group G acting faithfully on a rooted tree T has a free subgroup, then either there exists a point w of the boundary @T and a free subgroup of G with trivial stabilizer ofw, or there existsw 2 @T and a free subgroup ofG fixingw and acting faithfully on arbitrarily small neighborhoods of w. This can be used to prove the absence of free subgroups for different known classes of g...
متن کاملAutomorphism groups of trees acting locally with affine permutations
We consider the structure of groups that act on a p−regular tree in a vertex transitive way with the local action (i.e. the action of the vertex stabilizer on the link) isomorphic to the group of affine transformations on a finite affine line.

متن کاملSuperstable groups acting on trees
We study superstable groups acting on trees. We prove that an action of an ω-stable group on a simplicial tree is trivial. This shows that an HNN-extension or a nontrivial free product with amalgamation is not ωstable. It is also shown that if G is a superstable group acting nontrivially on a Λ-tree, where Λ = Z or Λ = R, and if G is either α-connected and Λ = Z, or if the action is irreducible...
متن کاملON QUASI UNIVERSAL COVERS FOR GROUPS ACTING ON TREES WITH INVERSIONS
Abstract. In this paper we show that if G is a group acting on a tree X with inversions and if (T Y ) is a fundamental domain for the action of G on X, then there exist a group &tildeG and a tree &tildeX induced by (T Y ) such that &tildeG acts on &tildeX with inversions, G is isomorphic to &tilde G, and X is isomorphic to &tildeX. The pair (&tilde G &tildeX) is called the quasi universal cover...
