    A proof of Zhil'tsov's theorem on decidability of equational theory of epigroups

    Full text link
    Epigroups are semigroups equipped with an additional unary operation called pseudoinversion. Each finite semigroup can be considered as epigroup. We prove the following theorem announced by Zhil'tsov in 2000: the equational theory of the class of all epigroups coincides with the equational theory of the class of all finite epigroups and is decidable. We show that the theory is not finitely based but provide a transparent infinite basis for it.Comment: 32 page

    Classification of finite groups generated by reflections and rotations

    Full text link
    We survey the existing parts of a classification of finite groups generated by orthogonal transformations in a finite-dimensional Euclidean space whose fixed point subspace has codimension one or two and extend it to a complete classification. These groups naturally arise in the study of the quotient of a Euclidean space by a finite orthogonal group and hence in the theory of orbifolds.Comment: 38 pages, accepted by Transformation Group

    One Relator Quotients of Graph Products

    Full text link
    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
