Geometric Group Theory
A group homomorphism is a structure-preserving map between two groups that respects the group operation. It means if you take two elements from the first group and combine them, the image of that combination under the homomorphism will equal the combination of the images of those two elements in the second group. This concept is crucial for understanding how groups relate to each other and forms a foundation for many properties within free groups.
congrats on reading the definition of group homomorphism. now let's actually learn it.
