Garside groups have the falsification by fellow-traveller property. (Q531913): Difference between revisions

Summary: A group \(G\) is said to have the falsification by fellow-traveller property (FFTP) with respect to a specified finite generating set \(X\) if, for some constant \(K\), all non-geodesic words over \(X\cup X^{-1}\) \(K\)-fellow-travel with \(G\)-equivalent shorter words. This implies, in particular, that the set of all geodesic words over \(X\cup X^{-1}\) is regular. We show that Garside groups with appropriate generating set satisfy FFTP.
