Scl in graphs of groups
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: Let G be a group acting on a tree with cyclic edge and vertex stabilizers. Then stable commutator length (scl) is rational in G. Furthermore, scl varies predictably and converges to rational limits in so-called "surgery" families. This is a homological analog of the phenomenon of geometric convergence in hyperbolic Dehn surgery.
There is a relative Gromov norm called stable commutator length (scl), which measures the minimal complexity of a surface with prescribed boundary. More precisely, scl of a null-homologous loop \(\gamma \) is the infimum of \(-\chi (S)/2n\) over all \(n > 0\) and all surfaces \(S\) that contain no sphere or disk components and whose boundary represents \(n\gamma \). The author shows that if \(G\) is a group acting on a tree with cyclic edge and vertex stabilizers then the stable commutator length is rational in \(G\).
