Intersections and joins of free groups

چکیده
Let F be a free group. If H and K are subgroups of F , we let H ∨K = 〈H,K〉 denote the join of H and K. We study the relationship between the rank of H ∩K and that of H ∨K for a pair of finitely generated subgroups H and K of F . In particular, we have the following particular case of the Hanna Neumann Conjecture, which has also been obtained by L. Louder [6] using his machinery for folding graphs of spaces [7, 8, 9]. For detailed discussions of the Hanna Neumann Conjecture, see [11, 12, 13, 16, 4, 3]. Theorem 1 (Kent, Louder). Let H and K be nontrivial finitely generated subgroups of a free group of ranks h and k, respectively. If rank(H ∨K)−1≥ h+ k−1 2 then

Winding and Unwinding and Essential Intersections in H
Let G = 〈A,B〉 be a non-elementary two generator subgroup of Isom(H). If G is discrete and free and geometrically finite, its quotient is a pair of pants and in [5] we produced a formula for the number of essential self intersections (ESIs) of any primitive geodesic on the quotient. An ESI is a point where the geodesic has a self-intersection on a seam. Self-intersections of geodesics on arbitra...

متن کاملToward Spatial Joins for Polygons
Efficient evaluation of spatial join is an important issue in spatial databases. The traditional evaluation strategy is to perform a join of “minimum bounding rectangles” (mbr) of the spatial objects (mbr-filter) and evaluate the actual join of the objects using the results of the join on approximations. Improvements to add additional filtering using more accurate approximations were also consi...
متن کاملModeling Multiple–Vehicle Property Damage Collisions in Urban Signalized Intersections
Development of disaggregate models for estimating different property damage collision type frequencies in urban intersections has rarely been studied, particularly in Iran. It seems very little research work being implemented for studying the effect factors on collision type frequency at intersections. The main objective of this paper is to develop suitable statistical models to predict types o...
متن کاملThe Dou8ble Algebra: An Effective Tool for Computing Invariants in Computer Vision
The double algebra is a system for computations involving subspaces of a general nite dimensional vector space. If this vector space is taken as projective 3-space, the operations of the double algebra can be interpreted as joins and intersections of points, lines and planes. All computations are coordinate free and invariant over linear transformations. The double algebra is therefore a very e...
