An integral weight realization theorem for subset currents on free groups

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We prove that if Nge2 and alpha:FNopi1(Gamma) is a marking on FN, then for any integer rge2 and any FN-invariant collection of non-negative integral "weights" associated to all subtrees K of widetildeGamma of radius ler satisfying some natural "switch" conditions, there exists a finite cyclically reduced folded Gamma-graph Delta realizing these weights as numbers of "occurrences" of K in Delta. As an application, we give a new, more direct and explicit, proof of one of the main results of our paper with Nagnibeda cite{KN3} stating that for any Nge2 the set gcnr of all rational subset currents is dense in the space gcn of subset currents on FN. We also answer one of the questions (Problem 10.11) posed in cite{KN3}. Thus we prove that if a nonzero muingcn has all weights with respect to some marking being integers, then mu is the sum of finitely many "counting" currents corresponding to nontrivial finitely generated subgroups of FN.
