Reducing the adjacency matrix of a tree.
An R-tree is a geodesic space for which there is a unique arc joining any two of its points, and this arc is a metric segment. If X is a closed convex subset of an R-tree Y, and if T: X → 2Y is a multivalued mapping, then a point z for which [...] is called a point of best approximation. It is shown here that if T is an ε-semicontinuous mapping whose values are nonempty closed convex subsets of Y, and if T has at least two distinct points of best approximation, then T must have a fixed point. We...
Guoliang Yu has introduced a property on discrete metric spaces and groups, which is a weak form of amenability and which has important applications to the Novikov conjecture and the coarse Baum–Connes conjecture. The aim of the present paper is to prove that property in particular examples, like spaces with subexponential growth, amalgamated free products of discrete groups having property A and HNN extensions of discrete groups having property A.
The repetition threshold introduced by Dejean and Brandenburg is the smallest real number α such that there exists an infinite word over a k-letter alphabet that avoids β-powers for all β > α. We extend this notion to colored graphs and obtain the value of the repetition thresholds of trees and “large enough” subdivisions of graphs for every alphabet size.

We analyse the spectral phase diagram of Schrödinger operators on regular tree graphs, with the graph adjacency operator and a random potential given by random variables. The main result is a criterion for the emergence of absolutely continuous spectrum due to fluctuation-enabled resonances between distant sites. Using it we prove that for unbounded random potentials spectrum appears at arbitrarily weak disorder in an energy regime which extends beyond the spectrum of. Incorporating...
