Cyclically presented groups with length four positive relators

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: For cyclically presented groups G=Gn(w) with positive length four relators w=x0xjxkxl in the free group with basis x0,x1,ldots,xn−1, we classify finiteness and, modulo two unresolved cases, we classify asphericity for the underlying presentations. We show that the fixed point subgroup of the shift ximapstoxi+1 is always finite and we relate finiteness of G and asphericity to the dynamics of the shift action by the cyclic group of order n on the nonidentity elements of G.
