The study of the rationality of the $L2$-Betti numbers of a countable group has led to the development of a rich theory in $L2$-homology with deep implications in structural properties of the groups. For decades almost nothing has been known about the general question of whether the strong Atiyah conjecture passes to free products of groups or not. In this talk, we will confirm that the strong Atiyah conjecture is stable under the graph of groups construction provided that the edge groups are finite. We will also discuss how universal localizations can be used to extend the result for general edge groups.
