Abstract

We prove the pro-pp version of the Karras, Pietrowski, Solitar, Cohen and Scott result stating that a virtually free group acts on a tree with finite vertex stabilizers. If a virtually free pro-pp group GG has finite centralizes of all non-trivial torsion elements more stronger statement is proved: GG embeds into a free pro-pp product of a free pro-pp group and finite pp-group. The integral pp-adic representation theory is used in the proof; it replaces the Stallings theory of ends in the pro-pp case.
