Wilton's inclusion/exclusion Hanna Neumann conjecture
Wilton's inclusion/exclusion Hanna Neumann conjecture
Let be a finitely generated non-trivial free group, and let be finitely generated subgroups of . Define the reduced rank of by
Wilton's inclusion/exclusion Hanna Neumann conjecture. For all such and ,
where is the subgroup generated by . This is known to hold when has finite index in , but the paper gives counterexamples without that assumption, so the conjecture is refuted in its stated generality.
