Generalized Steinberg module presentation for Gaussian and Eisenstein integers.

We prove that H^{d-1}(SL_n Z; Q) = 0, where d = n-choose-2 is the cohomological dimension of SL_n Z, and similarly for GL_n Z. We also prove analogous vanishing theorems for cohomology with coefficients in a rational representation of the algebraic group GL_n. These theorems are derived from a presentation of the Stein…

Establishes bounds on Andrews-Curtis moves for trivial group presentations.

Study on weakly G-slim complexes and non-positive immersions for group presentations.

The abstract explores Artin presentations and their connection to 4-manifolds using triangle groups.

Investigates local indicability of groups with circle homology presentations.

We give several new positive finite presentations for the pure braid group that are easy to remember and simple in form. All of our presentations involve a metric on the punctured disc so that the punctures are arranged "convexly", which is why we describe them as geometric presentaitons. Motivated by a presentation fo…

Finite presentation for a specific group in 3D handlebody topology.

We introduce the stable presentation length of a finitely presented group. The stable presentation length of the fundamental group of a 3-manifold can be considered as an analogue of the simplicial volume. We show that the stable presentation length have some additive properties like the simplicial volume, and the simp…

Classifies braids with positive Artin presentations and their fundamental groups.

The study shows that certain cubical presentations lead to aspherical spaces.

The paper presents methods to write presentations for Dehn quandles.

Simplified presentations for non-orientable surface mapping class groups.

Finite presentations for mapping class groups of surfaces and surfaces with points/boundaries.

Core groups are link invariants defined by arc or region presentations.

In the paper we give a survey of rather new notions and results which generalize classical ones in the theory of braids. Among such notions are various inverse monoids of partial braids. We also observe presentations different from standard Artin presentation for generalizations of braids. Namely, we consider presentat…

We give an infinite presentation for the mapping class group of a non-orientable surface with boundary components. The presentation is a generalization of the presentation given by the second author [15].

A {\em word labeled oriented graph} (WLOG) is an oriented graph $\cal G$ on vertices $X=\{ x_1,\ldots ,x_k\}$, where each oriented edge is labeled by a word in $X^{\pm1}$. WLOGs give rise to presentations which generalize Wirtinger presentations of knots. WLOG presentations, where the underlying graph is a tree are of …

New methods convert complex link presentations to simpler, recognizable forms.

We demonstrate how a 3-manifold, a Heegaard diagram, and a group presentation can each be interpreted as a pair of signed permutations in the symmetric group $S_d.$ We demonstrate the power of permutation data in programming and discuss an algorithm we have developed that takes the permutation data as input and determi…

This paper provides an infinite presentation for a subgroup of mapping class groups of non-orientable surfaces.

In this paper, we use replica analysis to determine the investment strategy that can maximize the net present value for portfolios containing multiple development projects. Replica analysis was developed in statistical mechanical informatics and econophysics to evaluate disordered systems, and here we use it to formula…

Paper proves vanishing homology groups for certain hyperbolic groups.

It is well known that surface-links in 4-space can be presented by diagrams on the plane of 4-valent spatial graphs with makers on the vertices, called marked graph diagrams. In this paper we extend the method of presenting surface-links by marked graph diagrams to presenting immersed surface-links. We also give some m…

New 3-manifold spines with unique Whitehead graphs identified.

Divide knots and links, defined by A'Campo in the singularity theory of complex curves, is a method to present knots or links by real plane curves. The present paper is a continuation of the author's previous result that every knot in the major subfamilies of Berge's lens space surgery (i.e., knots yielding a lens spac…

We present an algorithm which given a presentation of a group $G$ without 2-torsion, a solution to the word problem with respect to this presentation, and an acylindricity constant $κ$, outputs a collection of tracks in an appropriate presentation complex. We give two applications: the first is an algorithm which decid…

We give presentations, in terms of generators and relations, for the monoids of singular braids on closed surfaces. The proof of the validity of these presentations can also be applied to verify, in a new way, the presentations given by Birman for the monoids of Singular Artin braids.

Defines a cell complex for even spin mapping class group.

Using a similar algorithm to Hatcher-Thurston's algorithm for finding a presentation of the mapping class group of a surface, Wajnryb succeeded to find a presentation for the handlebody group. This is long and complicated. In this note I simplify Wajnryb's presentation for the handlebody group of genus g = 2.

The paper provides infinite presentations for surface groups.

It is known that every finitely presented group is the fundamental group of the total space of a Lefschetz fibration. In this paper, we give another proof which improves the result of Korkmaz. In addition, Korkmaz defined the genus of a finitely presented group. We also evaluate upper bounds for genera of some finitely…

We define braid presentation of edge-oriented spatial graphs as a natural generalization of braid presentation of oriented links. We show that every spatial graph has a braid presentation. For an oriented link it is known that the braid index is equal to the minimal number of Seifert circles. We show that an analogy do…

S. Gervais gave a finite presentation for the mapping class group of a surface (math.GT/9811162). We show this presentation without using Wajnryb's simple presentation. We use a complex of curves defined by Harvey, in place of Hatcher and Thurston's complex.

The study aims to prevent unfair content presentation in recommender systems.

Alternative proof of Dynnikov's three-page index for torus links.

Consider a relatively hyperbolic group G. We prove that if G is finitely presented, so are its parabolic subgroups. Moreover, a presentation of the parabolic subgroups can be found algorithmically from a presentation of G, a solution of its word problem, and generating sets of the parabolic subgroups. We also give an a…

Presented a simple group presentation for degree four cactus group.

Impact of chosen behavioural factors on imprecision of present value is discussed here. The formal model of behavioural present value is offered as a result of this discussion. Behavioural present value is described here by fuzzy set. These considerations were illustrated by means of extensive numerical case study. Fin…

In the present paper, we describe new approaches for constructing virtual knot invariants. The main background of this paper comes from formulating and bringing together the ideas of biquandle (Kauffman and Radford) the virtual quandle (Manturov), the ideas of quaternion biquandles by Roger Fenn and Andrew Bartholomew,…

Paper explores link and plat presentations, showing equivalence under bridge isotopy.

Finite presentations for skein algebras linked to gauge field theory.

In this paper, a method is given to calculate the Jones polynomial of the 6-plat presentations of knots by using a representation of the braid group $\mathbb{B}_6$ into a group of $5\times 5$ matrices. We also can calculate the Jones polynomial of the $2n$-plat presentations of knots by generalizing the method for the …

Study infinite group presentations and their Dehn functions.

The paper finds Artin presentations for the trivial group and identifies hyperbolic 3-braids.

In this paper we give new presentations of the braid groups and the pure braid groups of a closed surface. We also give an algorithm to solve the word problem in these groups, using the given presentations.

We define enhanced presentations of quandles via generators and relations with additional information comprising signed operations and an order structure on the set of generators. Such a presentation determines a virtual link diagram up to virtual moves. We list formal Reidemeister moves in which Tietze moves on the pr…

It is proven that if a finitely presented group is one ended it has asymptotic dimension bigger than one. It follows that finitely presented groups with asdim 1 are virtually free. A counterexample is given for the finitely generated case.
