Gordon's one-extra-relator construction #
This file formalizes the presentation-theoretic part of Lemma 2.1 of
Gordon (2022). The torsion hypothesis is recorded in the minimal form used
in Gordon's proof: the selected abelianized generators have distinct orders,
their orders have gcd one, and degree extends those orders injectively to
all generators. (Gordon obtains this form by choosing a minimal witness to
condition (2.1).)
Proof-ready, minimal-witness form of condition (2.1) in Gordon's paper.
selected lists the generators used in (2.1), q gives their exact orders
in the abelianization, and degree is the injective exponent assignment used
in relations (iii)--(iv).
- p : ℕ
The number of generators selected for the torsion condition.
The distinct generator indices selected for the torsion condition.
The prescribed orders of the selected generators in the abelianization.
- exactOrder (i : Fin self.p) : orderOf (Abelianization.of (PresentedGroup.of (self.selected i))) = self.q i
The distinct positive exponents assigned to the original generators.

Instances For
Eliminate beta using
alpha * a * alpha⁻¹ = b * beta * b⁻¹.

Instances For
Gordon's right-hand word beta⁻ʳ * b * betaʳ.
Equations
Instances For
The paper's commutator convention: [u,v] = u*v*u⁻¹*v⁻¹.
The project's older constructions use the opposite convention, so this is kept explicit.

generators from Gordon's presentation.

Instances For
The word-indexed Gordon transformation is uniform and computable.
If the input word is trivial, Gordon's transformed presentation is trivial. This is the elementary half of Lemma 2.1.
