Abstract:

An element of a group acting on a graph is called invertor if it transfers an edge of the graph to its inverse. In this paper, we show that if G is a group acting on a tree X with inversions such that G does not fix any element of X , then an element g of G is invertor if and only if g is not in any vertex stabilizer of G and g 2 is in an edge stabilizer of G . Moreover, if H is a finitely generated subgroup of G , then H contains an invertor element or some conjugate of H contains a cyclically reduced element of length at least one on which H is not in any vertex stabilizer of G , or H is in a vertex stabilizer of G .
