Let G be a finitely generated group. We give a new characterization of its Bieri-Neumann-Strebel invariant Σ(G), in terms of geometric abelian actions on R-trees. We provide a proof of Brown's characterization of Σ(G) by exceptional abelian actions of G, using geometric methods.

A survey of splitting theorems for abstract groups and their applications. Topics covered include preliminaries, early results, Bass-Serre theory, the structure of G-trees, Serre's applications to SL and length functions. Stallings' theorem, results about accessibility and bounds for splittability. Duality groups and pairs; results of Eckmann and collaborators on PD groups. Relative ends, the JSJ theorems and the splitting results of Kropholler and Roller on PD groups. Notions of quasi-isometry,...
