On shift dynamics for cyclically presented groups.

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: For group presentations with cyclic symmetry, there is a connection between asphericity and the dynamics of the shift automorphism. For the class of groups Gn(k,l) described by the cyclic presentations mathcalPn(k,l)=(xi:xixi+kxi+l(imodn)) and studied extensively by G. Williams and M. Edjvet cite{EdjvetWilliams}, the shift acts freely on the nonidentity elements of Gn(k,l) if and only if the presentation mathcalPn(k,l) is combinatorially aspherical in the sense of cite{CCH}. The shift has a nonidentity fixed point precisely when Gn(k,l) is finite.
