Abstract: | Summary We show that Walter Neumann's strengthened form of Hanna Neumann's conjecture on the best possible upper bound for the rank of the intersection of two subgroups of a free group is equivalent to a conjecture on the best possible upper bound for the number of edges in a bipartite graph with a certain weak symmetry condition. We illustrate the usefulness of this equivalence by deriving relatively easily certain previously known results.Oblatum 30-VIII-1993 |
