| mardi 29 septembre | Thierry Coulbois | Free Groups: 
	Words, reduced words, definition
	Some computations in free groups: cyclically-reduced normal form, no torsion, commutative-transitivity
	Ping-pong in SL2(Z), (see Johanna Mangahas Office Hours,chapter 5)
	Playing ping-pong in the Hyperbolic Plane with two loxodromic Möbius transformations
	Cayley graph of a free group (see Matt Clay's Office Hours pp 30-33)
	Serre's definition of a graph
	A group acting freely on a tree is free
       | Some exercices | 
  | mardi 6 octobre | Thierry Coulbois | Group acting on trees: 
	A group acting freely on a tree (without inversions) is free: proof (I followed the proof of Dan Margalit Office Hours pp 50-54 , but warning there is an erratum and even with the erratum...)
	Graphs as metric spaces
	Classification of isometries of trees, axes of loxodromic isometries
	Parallel with the classification of isometries of the hyperbolic plane
	Fundamental group of graphs (see section 4.1 of Matt Clay's Office Hours)
	Subgroup of free groups as fundamental group of graphs (see section 4.2 and 4.3 of Matt Clay's Office Hours)
	Stallings foldings (see section 4.2 and 4.3 of Matt Clay's Office Hours)
       | One more exercice | 
  
    | mardi 13 octobre | Thierry Coulbois | 
	An example of subgroup of the free group through foldings (Taken from Matt Clay's Office hours, project 1, p 83)
	  Coverings and subgroups of finite index
	Dynamics of free group automorphisms : (Matt Clay's Office hours, chapter 6 rather deals with the question of train-tracks, but you will see there Perron-Frobenius theorem)
	  
	    Iterating tribonacci on letters to get infinite words
	    Expansion of free group automorphisms
