Abstract: This paper surveys basic properties of finite presentation in groups, Lie algebras and rings. It includes some new results and also new, more elementary proofs, of some results that are already in the literature. In particular, we discuss examples of Stallings and of Roos on coherence by using a purely algebraic, nonhomological, approach.

Review text

One says that an algebraic object \(A\) is finitely presented if there exists a finitely generated free object \(F\) and an epimorphism \(\pi: F \rightarrow A\) such that the kernel of \(\pi\) is finitely generated as a kernel. In the paper under review the following objects are considered: (i) groups, (ii) Lie algebras over a field \(K\), (iii) \(R\)-algebras where \(R\) is a ring, and (iv) more general rings. The paper is a review. It includes explanation of basic properties of finite presentation in groups, Lie algebras and rings. Both it contains discussion of recent results such as ``examples of Stallings and of Roos on coherence and a recent theorem of Alahmadi and Alsulami on Morita invariance.
