Mar 2, 2020 at 15:27 comment added HJRW This method of proving Britton's lemma (more precisely, a cellular version of it) is sometimes called "t-corridors". It's well known to geometric group theorists, but I confess I'm amazed to discover that there aren't many introductory texts that include it. You could look at the proof of Britton's lemma in these notes of Short -- i2m.univ-amu.fr/~short/Papers/barcelona.pdf -- or alternatively at Exercise 7.2.4(ii) in this paper of Bridson: people.maths.ox.ac.uk/bridson/papers/bfs .
Feb 25, 2020 at 20:34 comment added Yaniv Ganor I am not too familiar with Britton's lemma, I saw the formulation in Wikipedia and books, but since the lemma seems purely algebraic I have to admit I don't see the analogy between the lemma and the above proof, can you elaborate? I am curious. Thank you very much for the help.
