Abstract
We define the Laplacian matrix and the Jacobian group of a finite graph of groups. We prove analogues of the matrix tree theorem and the class number formula for the order of the Jacobian of a graph of groups. Given a group acting on a graph , we define natural pushforward and pullback maps between the Jacobian groups of and the quotient graph of groups . For the case , we also prove a combinatorial formula for the order of the kernel of the pushforward map.
