Sep 5, 2011 at 10:38 comment added Torsten Ekedahl I would use "free product with amalgamation" only when the upper corner group injects into the other two groups. This is also the case when you have a really nice description of the result. Otherwise you only get a presentation (given presentation for the three groups) and we all know how difficult such can be to handle...

Sep 3, 2011 at 22:28 comment added Dylan Wilson I think Ryan is saying that the "free product with amalgamation" interpretation of a pushout of groups is just a general categorical fact: in any category with finite coproducts and coequalizers, the pushout of $A \rightarrow B$ along $A \rightarrow C$ is the coequalizer the two maps into the coproduct of $B$ and $C$.
Sep 3, 2011 at 22:13 comment added Ryan Budney "push-out" and "free product with amalgamation" are pretty much synonymous, so it's not clear to me there's anything happening to generalize.
