On knot groups acting on trees

Group Theory 2018-07-18 v1

Abstract

A finitely generated group GG acting on a tree with infinite cyclic edge and vertex stabilizers is called a generalized Baumslag--Solitar group (GBSGBS group). We prove that a 1-knot group GG is GBSGBS group iff GG is a torus-knot group and describe all n-knot GBS groups for n3n\geqslant 3.
