Abstract

top
In this paper we describe the groups of isometries acting transitively on the homogeneous tree of degree three. This description implies that the following three properties are equivalent: amenability, non-unimodularity and action without inversions. Moreover, we exhibit examples of non-unimodular transitive groups of isometries of a homogeneous tree of degree q+1>3 which do not fix any point of the boundary of the tree.
