Abstract : The fundamental group of a high dimensional graph manifold canonically has a graph of groups structure. We analyze the group action on the associated Bass-Serre tree and study the algebraic ranks of the fundamental groups of high dimensional graph manifolds.
Keywords : Algebraic rank of a group, high dimensional graph manifolds, graph of groups, Bass-Serre theory
