Abstract

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