Abstract
Magnus' Freiheitssatz states that if a group is defined by a presentation with generators and a single relator containing the last generating letter, then the first letters freely generate a free subgroup. We study an analogue of this theorem in the Gromov density model of random groups, showing a phase transition phenomenon at density with : we prove that for a random group with generators at density , if then the first letters freely generate a free subgroup; whereas if then the first letters generate the whole group.
