Resumen:	We extend the classical Stallings theory (describing subgroups of free groups as automata) to direct products of free and abelian groups: after introducing enriched automata (i. e. , automata with extra abelian labels), we obtain an explicit bijection between subgroups and a certain type of such enriched automata, which-as it happens in the free group-is computable in the finitely generated case. This approach provides a neat geometric description of (even non-(finitely generated)) intersections of finitely generated subgroups within this non-Howson family. In particular, we give a geometric solution to the subgroup intersection problem and the finite index problem, providing recursive bases and transversals, respectively.
