“…For N (G) = 2, the assertion holds, because the group G in this case contains an infinite dihedral subgroup, whose commutator subgroup coincides with the set of commutators (and trivially intersects conjugates of free factors). For N (G) = ∞, the argument below is essentially valid, but we leave it to readers, because the assertion of the theorem in this case follows immediately from the results of [2,19] mentioned in the introduction. Thus, we assume that N (G) is odd.…”
