On balanced presentations of the trivial group

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

To solve problems of Magnus and Stallings stated in the 1960s, we construct a balanced presentation of the trivial group such that no defining relator of this presentation could be replaced by a free generator and the group, given by the altered presentation, would still be trivial. Some other related problems on balanced presentations of the trivial group are discussed.
