Abstract

We construct examples of finitely generated groups L that have non-trivial actions on R\mathbb{R}-trees but which cannot act, without fixing a vertex, on any simplicial tree. Moreover, any finitely presented group mapping onto L does have a fixed point-free action on some simplicial tree.
