Miasnikov–Ventura–Weil algebraic-extension conjecture for free groups
Miasnikov–Ventura–Weil algebraic-extension conjecture for free groups
Let be a free group on the set , and let be subgroups. For a basis of , write for the morphism between the associated core graphs. An extension is algebraic if it is not contained in any proper free factor of .
Miasnikov–Ventura–Weil conjecture. If the morphism
is surjective for every basis of , then is an algebraic extension of .
The converse is true, but the conjecture itself is refuted by a counterexample in the free group on two generators.
