Namely, we show that if $G$ is a freely indecomposable non-cyclic $k$-generated group acting minimally and $M$-acylindrically on an $\\mathbf R$-tree $X$ then for any $\\epsilon>0$ there is a finite subtree $Y_{\\epsilon}\\subseteq X$ of measure at most $2M(k-1)+\\epsilon$ such that $GY_{\\epsilon}=X$. This generalizes theorems of Z.Sela and T.Delzant about actions on simplicial trees.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2004-08-27T18:40:12.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20F67" ], "keywords": [ "groups acting", "simplicial trees", "acylindrical accessibility theorem", "finite subtree", "generalizes theorems" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2002math.....10308K" } } }
