... We go on to show that closely related groups of homotopy classes of homeomor- phisms of surfaces, as well as analogous groups of automorphisms of free groups, also have uniformly exponential growth. We remark that, while ... See full document

... It now follows that the lift of ψ is the identity on the set of all endpoints of elements of V (K). Since this set is dense in S 1 , it follows that it is the identity on S 1 , and we deduce that ψ is the trivial ... See full document

... For each Tietze transformation of the types (T1)–(T3), it is easy to obtain an explicit isomorphism (as a mapping on generators) and its inverse. For a Tietze transformation of the type (T4), the isomorphism is ... See full document
