Infinite words and universal free actions

Abstract

This is the second paper in a series of three, where we take on the unified theory of non-Archimedean group actions, length functions and infinite words. Here, for an arbitrary group GG of infinite words over an ordered abelian group Λ\Lambda we construct a Λ\Lambda-tree ΓG\Gamma_G equipped with a free action of GG. Moreover, we show that ΓG\Gamma_G is a universal tree for GG in the sense that it isometrically embeds in every Λ\Lambda-tree equipped with a free GG-action compatible with the original length function on GG.
