A generalized Baumslag-Solitar (GBS) graph is a graph of groups whose edge and vertex groups are infinite cyclic. A quadratic Baumslag-Solitar (QBS) graph is a graph of groups whose edge groups are infinite cyclic and whose vertex groups are either infinite cyclic or are quadratically hanging. (The definition of quadratically hanging vertex groups used here differs slightly from the one originally used by Rips and Sela.) Forester showed that (under mild hypotheses) if \(G\) is the fundamental group of a GBS graph \(\Gamma\) then \(\Gamma\) is a JSJ decomposition of \(G\). Here, this result is extended by showing that (under certain natural hypotheses) if \(G\) is the fundamental group of a QBS graph \(\Gamma\) then \(\Gamma\) is a Rips-Sela JSJ decomposition for \(G\).
