%0 Journal Article %T A note on the structure theory of groups acting on the Bruhat Tits tree associated to $\mathrm{PGL}_{2}(F)$ %A Inder Kaur %J Mathematics %D 2013 %I arXiv %X In this note we prove the classical decomposition theorems for certain subgroups of the automorphism group of the Bruhat-Tits tree associated to $\mathrm{PGL}_{2}(F)$, where $F$ is a local field. The results can be used to understand the representation theory of these subgroups. Moreover, we can also use the results to obtain similar decompositions for \textit{any} closed transitive subgroup of the automorphism group of \textit{any} Bruhat-Tits tree. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1304.7490v1
