Abstract

We prove that the mapping torus of a graph immersion has a word-hyperbolic fundamental group if and only if the corresponding endomorphism does not produce Baumslag–Solitar subgroups. Due to a result by Reynolds, this theorem applies to all injective endomorphisms of F₂ and nonsurjective fully irreducible endomorphisms of F_n.
