چکیده

We show that the finitely presented groups with unsolvable word problem given by the Boone-Britton construction have cohomological dimension 2. More precisely we show these groups can be obtained from a free group by successively forming HNN-extensions where the associated subgroups are finitely generated free groups. Also the presentations obtained for these groups are aspherical. Using this we show there is no algorithm to determine whether a presentation is aspherical. There is no algorithm to determine whether a finite 2-complex is aspherical.

The characteristics of mathematical word problems at the middle school and suggested strategies to facilitae their solution process

Abstract: This paper, first it has reviewed the literature on the characteristics of mathematical word problems and their solution process. The review revealed that among the root causes for students’ difficulties with mathematical word problems, two factors are salient, namely the text complexity and the unfamiliar context. To shed more light on these findings, a factorial experimental study w...

Subgroups of Word Hyperbolic Groups in Dimension 2

If G is a word hyperbolic group of cohomological dimension 2, then every subgroup of G of type FP2 is also word hyperbolic. Isoperimetric inequalities are denned for groups of type FP2 and it is shown that the linear isoperimetric inequality in this generalized context is equivalent to word hyperbolicity. A sufficient condition for hyperbolicity of a general graph is given along with an applica...
