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