On two‐generator subgroups of mapping torus groups

Abstract We prove that if is the mapping torus group of an injective endomorphism of a free group (of possibly infinite rank), then every two‐generator subgroup of is either free or a (finitary) sub‐mapping torus. As an application we show that if is a fully irreducible atoroidal automorphism, then every two‐generator subgroup of is either free or has finite index in .
