Kurosh rank of intersections of subgroups of free products of right-orderable groups

Kurosh rank of intersections of subgroups of free products of right-orderable groups
Kurosh rank of intersections of subgroups of free products of right-orderable groups
We prove that the reduced Kurosh rank of the intersection of two subgroups H and K of a free product of right-orderable groups is bounded above by the product of the reduced Kurosh ranks of H and K.

In particular, taking the fundamental group of a graph of groups with trivial vertex and edge groups, and its Bass-Serre tree, our theorem becomes the desired inequality of the usual strengthened Hanna Neumann conjecture for free groups.

Abstract

We prove that the reduced Kurosh rank of the intersection of two subgroups H and K of a free product of right-orderable groups is bounded above by the product of the reduced Kurosh ranks of H and K.

In particular, taking the fundamental group of a graph of groups with trivial vertex and edge groups, and its Bass-Serre tree, our theorem becomes the desired inequality of the usual strengthened Hanna Neumann conjecture for free groups.
