The purpose of the present paper is to give a topological proof of the fact that the free product of two residually finite groups with a finite subgroup amalgamated is itself residually finite. This theorem, which is due to G. Baumslag [2], is a generalization of the corresponding result for ordinar

We find a necessary and sufficient condition for an amalgamated free product of arbitrarily many isomorphic residually \(p\)-finite groups to be residually \(p\)-finite. We also prove that this condition is sufficient for a free product of any finite number of residually \(p\)-finite groups, amalgam
We study amalgamated free products in the category of inverse semigroups. Our approach is combinatorial. Graphical techniques are used to relate the structures of the inverse semigroups in a pushout square, and we then examine amalgamated free products. We show that an amalgam of inverse semigroups
