Sumario:The theory of?-trees has its origin in the work of Lyndon on length functions in groups. The first definition of an R -tree was given by Tits in 1977. The importance of?-trees was established by Morgan and Shalen, who showed how to compactify a generalisation of Teichmüller space for a finitely generated group using R -trees. In that work they were led to define the idea of a?-tree, where? is an arbitrary ordered abelian group. Since then there has been much progress in understanding the structure of groups acting on R -trees, notably Rips' theorem on free actions. There has also been some.
