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 of (GX) induced by the (T Y ).

A Splitting Theorem for Groups Acting on Quasi-trees

It is well known that a group is free if and only if it acts freely without inversions on a tree. We prove a generalisation of this fact by deening a quasi-tree to be a graph with a bound on the size of its simple loops. It is shown that a nitely generated group acting freely on such a graph is isomorphic to a free product of free groups and nite groups.

On fibers and accessibility of groups acting on trees with inversions

Throughout this paper the actions of groups on graphs with inversions are allowed. An element g of a group G is called inverter if there exists a tree X where G acts such that g transfers an edge of X into its inverse. A group G is called accessible if G is finitely generated and there exists a tree on which G acts such that each edge group is finite, no vertex is stabilized by G, and each vert...

On Invertor Elements and Finitely Generated Subgroups of Groups Acting on Trees with Inversions

An element of a group acting on a graph is called invertor if it transfers an edge of the graph to its inverse. In this paper, we show that if G is a group acting on a tree X with inversions such that G does not fix any element of X, then an element g of G is invertor if and only if g is not in any vertex stabilizer of G and g2 is in an edge stabilizer of G. Moreover, if H is a finitely generat...

On Centralizers of Elements of Groups Acting on Trees with Inversions

A subgroup H of a group G is called malnormal in G if it satisfies the condition that if g ∈G and h∈H, h≠ 1 such that ghg−1 ∈H, then g ∈H. In this paper, we show that if G is a group acting on a tree X with inversions such that each edge stabilizer is malnormal in G, then the centralizer C(g) of each nontrivial element g of G is in a vertex stabilizer if g is in that vertex stabilizer. If g is ...

Superstable 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...

Amenability of Groups Acting on Trees

This note describes the first example of a group that is amenable, but cannot be obtained by subgroups, quotients, extensions and direct limits from the class of groups locally of subexponential growth. It has a balanced presentation ∆ = 〈b, t| [b, t]b, [[[b, t], b], b]〉. In the proof, I show that ∆ acts transitively on a 3-regular tree, and that Γ = 〈b, b −1 〉 stabilizes a vertex and acts by r...
