Finitely generated subgroups of amalgamated free products and HNN groups
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 April 2009
Abstract
The theory of groups acting on trees due to Bass and Serre (1969) is applied to simplify some results of Burns (1972, 1973) giving conditions under which an amalgamated free product or HNN extension has the properties that any finitely generated subgroup containing an infinite subnormal subgroup must have finite index and that the intersection of two finitely generated subgroups is finitely generated.
