Two problems about bases and independent sets in free groups

Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: We will answer a problem of Dotsenko that asks for a tight upper bound on the rank of subgroups given a maximum length for its generators. Then, we will use the same tools to answer a longstanding problem of Grigorchuk in the 10th edition of the Kourovka notebook. We accomplish this using Stallings foldings and simple graph theory.
