Abstract
Consider a group G and a family of subgroups of G. We say that vertex finiteness holds for splittings of G over if, up to isomorphism, there are only finitely many possibilities for vertex stabilizers of minimal G-trees with edge stabilizers in . We show vertex finiteness when G is a toral relatively hyperbolic group and is the family of abelian subgroups. We also show vertex finiteness when G is hyperbolic relative to virtually polycyclic subgroups and is the family of virtually cyclic subgroups; if moreover G is one-ended, there are only finitely many minimal G-trees with virtually cyclic edge stabilizers, up to automorphisms of G.
