Is the intersection of two subgroups, defined below, always trivial?

As pointed out, the Kervaire conjecture requires an assumption about the exponent sum on $g$. So, in fact, the answer to the original question is"no". Take $H$ be the cyclic group of order 6 generate …

An endomorphism of free groups

Another argument: As said above, it suffices to show that the subgroup $S=<\{g_i \alpha_i g_i^{-1}\}>$ has rank $n$. We make the subgroup graph $\Gamma_S$ of $S$ by identifying at a basepoint the roo …

A subgroup of corank 1 in a free group contains a primitive element?

Assuming $x_1 \notin H$, we can construct a basis for F as follows: for each j, if $x_j \notin H$, we set $b_j=x_j$ (in particular, $b_1=x_1$); if $x_j \in H$, set $b_j=x_1x_j$. Then, $B=\{b_1, …
