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 $G_n(k,l)$ described by the cyclic presentations $mathcal{P}_n(k,l)=(x_i:x_i{x}_{i+k}{x}_{i+l}(imodn))$ and studied extensively by G. Williams and M. Edjvet cite{EdjvetWilliams}, the shift acts freely on the nonidentity elements of $G_n(k,l)$ if and only if the presentation $mathcal{P}_n(k,l)$ is combinatorially aspherical in the sense of cite{CCH}. The shift has a nonidentity fixed point precisely when $G_n(k,l)$ is finite.
