Special Case

The Bass–Serre theorem supplies generators and relations for a group of automorphisms of a tree. Recently K. S. Brown [2] has extended the result to produce a presentation for a group of automorphisms of a simply connected complex, the extra ingredient being relations which come from the 2-cells of the complex. Suppose G is the group, K the complex and L the 1-skeleton of K. Then an extension of π1(L) by G acts on the universal covering space of L (which is of course a tree) and Brown's technique is to apply the work of Bass and Serre to this action. Our aim is to give a direct elementary proof of Brown's theorem which makes no use of covering spaces, deals with the Bass–Serre theorem as a special case and clarifies the roles played by the various generators and relations.

Universal Covering Space

Let X be any Riemann surface. By Koebe’s uniformization theorem we know that the universal covering space of X is conformally equivalent to either Riemann sphere, complex plane, or the unit disc in the complex plane. If X is allowed to vary with parameters we may inquire the parameter dependence of the corresponding family of the universal covering spaces.

The main objective of this paper is to study the action of the group of differentiate structures Γ2n-1 on the (2n-1)-sphere S2n-1 on the diffeomorphism classes on the real projective (2n-1)-space P2n-1 by connected sum. This is done by considering universal covering spaces of the connected sum where Σ is an exotic (2n-1)-sphere.
