Using Stallings g raphs\, I'll describe an answer to this question for nonsurjective endomor phisms. To some degree\, it turns out nonsurjectivity greatly simplifies m atters --- a result that I found rather surprising! I proved that all inje ctive endomorphisms can be uniquely represented by certain kinds of expand ing immersions on graphs\; a bit paradoxically\, this representation is tr ivial when the endomorphism is an automorphism.\n\nJean Pierre's talk will be followed by teatime in the lounge at 5pm.\n\nIn addition\, there will be a very interesting group theory related talk at the Quebec Mathematics Colloquium given by Su Gao (Nankai University) this Thursday at 2:30pm in BURN 920. See here for the title and abstract.\n\n \n DTSTART:20240925T200000Z DTEND:20240925T210000Z LOCATION:Room 920\, Burnside Hall\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0B9\, 805 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Jean-Pierre Mutanguha (ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ University).
