Abstract

Given a non-trivial complete valued field KK with value group Λ\Lambda, we construct a Λ\Lambda-tree space associated to KK analog of the Bruhat-Tits tree, and locally finite trees associated to compact subsets of the projective line. We propose a definition of hyperbolic matrix and Schottky group over such field KK. To any such Schottky group Γ\Gamma, we associate a compact set with an action of Γ\Gamma, such that the quotient graph of the associated tree is a finite graph, and Γ\Gamma is identified with its fundamental group. Finally explain a method to construct such groups. This results extend the classical ones for discrete valuations of Mumford and non-archimedean rank 1 valuations of Gerritzen and Van der Put.
