Abstract

The main result includes as special cases on the one hand, the Gerstenhaber–Rothaus theorem (1962) and its generalisation due to Nitsche and Thom (2022) and, on the other hand, the Brodskii–Howie–Short theorem (1980–1984) generalising Magnus’s Freiheitssatz (1930).

Definitions, examples, and properties of hyperlinear (= Connes-embeddable) groups can be found, e.g., in [36]; we note only that the class of hyperlinear groups contains all finite group and their free products (possibly, even all group are hyperlinear – this is a well-known open question).
