We know that the abelianization of a free product is the direct sum, for example $Ab(mathbbZ*mathbbZ)=mathbbZoplusmathbbZ$.



Is there a “canonical” (or even non-canonical) operator that reverses the process of Abelianization?
(For instance, it may goes from direct sum to free product?)



Thanks.

    If you want a group with a given abelianization $A$, one choice is $A$. That is boring, but you're unlikely to get an interesting answer in a canonical way.

The abelianization functor, from the category of groups to the category of abelian groups, has a right adjoint, which is the forgetful functor, in other words the functor that sends an abelian group $A$ to the group $A$ itself. I guess this is as close to an "inverse" as you can reasonably hope.
