Graphs of subgroups of free groups. (Q1007212): Difference between revisions

In the present paper, the authors propose an alternative and effective model for studying the relationship between the join and intersection of finitely generated subgroups of a free group. This authors' model yields a quick proof of Dicks' equivalence theorem [\textit{W. Dicks}, Invent. Math. 117, No. 3, 373-389 (1994; Zbl 0809.05055)] as well as an answer to an unpublished question of \textit{M. Culler} and \textit{P. B. Shalen} [Four-free groups and hyperbolic geometry. arXiv:0806.1188].
