Profinite completion of Grigorchuk's group is not finitely presented
In this paper we prove that the profinite completion of
the Grigorchuk group is not finitely presented as a profinite
group. We obtain this result by showing that H^2(\mathcal{\hat
G},\field{F}_2) is infinite dimensional. Also several results are proven about
the finite quotients including minimal
presentations and Schur Multipliers
Quadratic equations over free groups are NP-complete
We prove that the problems of deciding whether a quadratic equation over a
free group has a solution is NP-complete
