Real Tree - Simplicial R-trees

Simplicial R-trees

A simplicial R-tree is an R-tree that is free from certain "topological strangeness". More precisely, a point x in an R-tree T is called ordinary if Tx has exactly two components. The points which are not ordinary are singular. We define a simplicial R-tree to be an R-tree whose set of singular points is discrete and closed.
