free product with amalgamated subgroup
Definition 1.
Let Gk, k=0,1,2 be groups and ik:G0→Gi, k=1,2 be monomorphisms.
The free product
of G1 and G2 with amalgamated subgroup
G0,
is defined to be a group G that has the following
two properties
-
1.
there are homomorphisms
jk:Gk→G, k=1,2 that make the following diagram commute
