چکیده

Let F be a free group (pro-p group) and U and W two finitely generated subgroups (closed subgroups) of F . The Strengthened Hanna Neumann conjecture says that ∑ x∈U\F/W rk(U ∩ xWx−1) ≤ rk(U)rk(W ), where rk(U) = max{rk(U)− 1, 0}. This conjecture was proved in the case of abstract groups independently by J. Friedman and I. Mineyev in 2011. In this paper we give the proof of the conjecture in the pro-p context and also present a new proof in the abstract case. We also show that the Lück approximation conjecture holds for free groups.

A Sufficient Condition for Hanna Neumann Property of Submonoids of a Free Monoid

Using automata-theoretic approach, Giambruno and Restivo have investigated on the intersection of two finitely generated submonoids of the free monoid over a finite alphabet. In particular, they have obtained Hanna Neumann property for a special class of submonoids generated by finite prefix sets. This work continues their work and provides a sufficient condition for Hanna Neumann property for ...

The Hanna Neumann Conjecture Is True When One Subgroup Has a Positive Generating Set

The Hanna Neumann conjecture states that if F is a free group, then for all finitely generated subgroups H,K 6 F , rank(H ∩ K) − 1 6 [rank(H)− 1] [rank(K)− 1] In this paper, we show that if one of the subgroups, say H , has a generating set consisting of only positive words, then H is not part of any counterexample to the conjecture. We further show that if H ≤ F2 is part of a counterexample to...

Graphs, free groups and the Hanna Neumann conjecture

A new bound for the rank of the intersection of finitely generated subgroups of a free group is given, formulated in topological terms, and in the spirit of Stallings [19]. The bound is a contribution to the strengthened Hanna Neumann conjecture.

Intersections and joins of free groups

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 grap...

Damage identification of structures using second-order approximation of Neumann series expansion

In this paper, a novel approach proposed for structural damage detection from limited number of sensors using extreme learning machine (ELM). As the number of sensors used to measure modal data is normally limited and usually are less than the number of DOFs in the finite element model, the model reduction approach should be used to match with incomplete measured mode shapes. The second-order a...
