Abstract: We extend the techniques of [CH] to build an inductive procedure for studying actions in the boundary of the Culler-Vogtmann Outer Space, the main novelty being an adaptation of he classical Rauzy-Veech induction for studying actions of surface type. As an application, we prove that a tree in the boundary of Outer space is free and indecomposable if and only if its dual lamination is minimal up to diagonal leaves. Our main result generalizes [BFH97, Proposition 1.8] as well as the main result of [KL11].

Review text

Summary: We extend the techniques of [\textit{T. Coulbois} and \textit{A. Hilion}, Groups Geom. Dyn. 8, No. 1, 97-134 (2014; Zbl 1336.20033)] to build an inductive procedure for studying actions in the boundary of the Culler-Vogtmann Outer space, the main novelty being an adaptation of the classical Rauzy-Veech induction for studying actions of \textit{surface type}. As an application, we prove that a tree in the boundary of Outer space is free and indecomposable if and only if its dual lamination is \textit{minimal up to diagonal leaves}. Our main result generalizes [\textit{M. Bestvina, M. Feighn, M. Handel}, Geom. Funct. Anal. 7, No. 2, 215-244 (1997; Zbl 0884.57002), Proposition 1.8] as well as the main result of [\textit{I. Kapovich} and \textit{M. Lustig}, Q. J. Math. 65, No. 4, 1241-1275 (2014; Zbl 1348.20035)].
