Approximations of stable actions on \(\mathbb{R}\)-trees. (English) Zbl 0979.20026

Summary: This article shows how to approximate a stable action of a finitely presented group on an \(\mathbb{R}\)-tree by a simplicial one while keeping control over arc stabilizers. For instance, every small action of a hyperbolic group on an \(\mathbb{R}\)-tree can be approximated by a small action of the same group on a simplicial tree. The techniques we use highly rely on Rips’s study of stable actions on \(\mathbb{R}\)-trees and on the dynamical study of exotic components by D. Gaboriau.
