    Investigating self-similar groups using their finite LL-presentation

    Full text link
    Self-similar groups provide a rich source of groups with interesting properties; e.g., infinite torsion groups (Burnside groups) and groups with an intermediate word growth. Various self-similar groups can be described by a recursive (possibly infinite) presentation, a so-called finite LL-presentation. Finite LL-presentations allow numerous algorithms for finitely presented groups to be generalized to this special class of recursive presentations. We give an overview of the algorithms for finitely LL-presented groups. As applications, we demonstrate how their implementation in a computer algebra system allows us to study explicit examples of self-similar groups including the Fabrykowski-Gupta groups. Our experiments yield detailed insight into the structure of these groups

    One Relator Quotients of Graph Products

    In this paper, we generalise Magnus' Freiheitssatz and solution to the word problem for one-relator groups by considering one relator quotients of certain classes of right-angled Artin groups and graph products of locally indicable polycyclic groups
