In the course of the proof we present a partition of the set of homomorphisms between free groups that may be of independent interest.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-06-29T17:20:22.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "free groups", "algebraic extensions", "decomposition", "independent interest", "core graphs" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
