Abstract

We prove Wise’s W-cycles conjecture: Consider a compact graph Γ0 immersing into another graph Γ. For any immersed cycle Λ : S1 → Γ, we consider the map Λ0 from the circular components S of the pullback to Γ0. Unless Λ0 is reducible, the degree of the covering map S → S1 is bounded above by minus the Euler characteristic of Γ0. As a corollary, any finitely generated subgroup of a one-relator group has finitely generated Schur multiplier.
