RESUMO
Let G be a homogeneous tree and Aut(G) its group of automorphism. An automorphism Î Aut(G) is said to be even if d(f(x),x) º0 mod 2 for every vertex x Î G of , where d(.,.) is the canonical distance function defined by the minimum length of paths connecting the vertices. The set Aut+(G) of all even automorphism is a subgroup of index 2 in Aut(G). We define a geodesic g Ì G as a subtree isomorphic to the standard tree of the integers Z, that is, a homogeneous subtree of degree 2. A reflection in a geodesic g is an involutive automorphism f (f² =1) such that f(x) = x if x Î G. We denote by R the set of all reflections in geodesics. In this work (Chapter 2) we prove that, for every even degree tree G, the covering number of Aut+(G) by reflections in geodesics is 11, in the sense that give f Î Aut+(G) there are f1, f2,... fk with k £ 11, such that f(x) = fk °fk-1°...°f1(x) for every vertex x in G.Moreover, if we consider homogeneous trees we know that automorphisms group is complete and the even automorphisms subgroup is simple. We vary the homogeneous condition and we prove that (Chapter 3) for the semi-homogeneous trees, the automorphisms group is simple and complete
