A remark on \varepsilon-maps in dimension 1

Abstract: Let

f c o l o n m a t h b b S^{1} i g h t a r r o w G

be a surjective map from the standard unit circle to a graph

G

such that the pre-image of each point has diameter less than

v a r e p s i l o n

. If

v a r e p s i l o n

is small enough, does

f

split as a free factor in

p i_{1} (G)

?
