In geometric group theory one uses group actions on spaces to gain information about groups. One natural space to use is the Cayley graph of a group. The Cayley graph arguments that one encounters tend to require local finiteness, and hence finite generation of the group. In this paper, I take the theory of intersections of splittings of finitely generated groups (as developed by Scott, Scott-Swarup, and Niblo-Sageev-Scott-Swarup), and rework it to remove finite generation assumptions. Whereas the aforementioned authors relied on the local finiteness of the Cayley graph, I capitalize on the Bass-Serre trees for the splittings.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
