A context-free and a 1-counter geodesic language for a Baumslag-Solitar group

نویسنده

  • Murray J. Elder
چکیده

We give a language of unique geodesic normal forms for the BaumslagSolitar group BS(1, 2) that is context-free and 1-counter. We discuss the classes of context-free, 1-counter and counter languages, and explain how they are inter-related.

$\mathcal C$-graph automatic groups

We generalize the notion of a graph automatic group introduced by Kharlampovich, Khoussainov and Miasnikov by replacing the regular languages in their definition with more powerful language classes. For a fixed language class C, we call the resulting groups C-graph automatic. We prove that the class of C-graph automatic groups is closed under change of generating set, direct and free product fo...

A Linear-time Algorithm to Compute Geodesics in Solvable Baumslag–solitar Groups

We present an algorithm to convert a word of length n in the standard generators of the solvable Baumslag–Solitar group BS(1, p) into a geodesic word, which runs in linear time and O(n logn) space on a random access machine.

Nonhyperbolic free-by-cyclic and one-relator groups

We show that the free-by-cyclic groups of the form F2 o Z act properly cocompactly on CAT(0) square complexes. We also show using generalized Baumslag–Solitar groups that all known groups defined by a 2-generator 1-relator presentation are either SQ-universal or are cyclic or isomorphic to a soluble Baumslag–Solitar group.

A Logspace Solution to the Word and Conjugacy problem of Generalized Baumslag-Solitar Groups

Baumslag-Solitar groups were introduced in 1962 by Baumslag and Solitar as examples for finitely presented non-Hopfian two-generator groups. Since then, they served as examples for a wide range of purposes. As Baumslag-Solitar groups are HNN extensions, there is a natural generalization in terms of graph of groups. Concerning algorithmic aspects of generalized Baumslag-Solitar groups, several d...

Decision and Separability Problems for Baumslag-Solitar Semigroups

We show that the semigroups Sk,` having semigroup presentations 〈a, b : abk = b`a〉 are residually finite and finitely separable. Generally, these semigroups have finite separating images which are finite groups and other finite separating images which are semigroups of order-increasing transformations on a finite partially ordered set. These semigroups thus have vastly different residual and se...
