Parzanchevski–Puder revised algebraic-extension conjecture for free groups

Let FYF_Y be a free group with subgroup chain HKFYH\leq K\leq F_Y. Let FF' be a free extension of FYF_Y, and let XX be a basis of FF'. The associated core graphs give a morphism ΓX(H)ΓX(K)\Gamma_X(H)\to\Gamma_X(K). An extension HKH\leq K is algebraic if it is not contained in any proper free factor of KK.

Parzanchevski–Puder conjecture. If, for every free extension FF' of FYF_Y and every basis XX of FF', the morphism

ΓX(H)ΓX(K)\Gamma_X(H)\to\Gamma_X(K)

is onto, then KK is algebraic over HH.

This was proposed as a revision of the refuted Miasnikov–Ventura–Weil conjecture; the supplied text does not establish whether this revised conjecture is resolved.
