Infinite equalizer conjecture for free-group endomorphisms
Infinite equalizer conjecture for free-group endomorphisms
Let be a finitely generated free group, and let be injective endomorphisms of . Their extensions to the boundary are denoted by and , and write and for the corresponding equalizers. The regular points of are the points considered in the paper's boundary equalizer construction.
Infinite equalizer conjecture. There is an upper bound, depending only on , for the number of -orbits of the regular points of . The finite-rank-two case of the related equalizer problem is known, but the general case remains open; this infinite version is posed as an open problem.
