We apply these techniques to study cosets, double cosets, and Schreier representatives of finitely generated subgroups of F and also to analyze relative sizes of regular prefixed-closed subsets in F.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-06-16T14:29:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20E05" ], "keywords": [ "free group", "regular sets", "study asymptotic behavior", "no-return random walks", "regular subsets" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 33, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0906.2850F" } } }
