This fine translation is very welcome and I strongly recommend it as an introduction to an important subject. In Chapter I, which is self-contained, the pace is fairly gentle. The author proves the fundamental theorem for the special cases of free groups and tree products before dealing with the (rather difficult) proof of the general case.\" (A.W. Mason in Proceedings of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society 1982)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe present book is an English translation of \"Arbres, Amalgames, SL(2)\", published in 1977 by J-P.Serre, and written with the collaboration of H.Bass. The first chapter describes the \"arboreal dictionary\" between graphs of groups and group actions on trees. The second chapter gives applications to the Bruhat-Tits tree of SL(2) over a local field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 142\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.33 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 16, 2012\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42711318462527,"sku":"9783642618581","price":80.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/503bfa2e6f2046dd9e30ecc645c17ada.webp?v=1765058078","url":"https:\/\/dhl-adrianne.myshopify.com\/products\/trees-paperback-3","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
