Real trees

arXiv:2303.07920

Abstract

We survey the definition and some elementary properties of real trees. There are no new results, as far as we know. One purpose is to give a number of different definitions and show the equivalence between them. We discuss also, for example, the four-point inequality, the length measure and the connection to the theory of Gromov hyperbolic spaces. Several examples are given.
