Balanced finite presentations of the trivial group

Group Theory 2016-07-07 v2 Metric Geometry

Abstract

We construct a sequence of balanced finite presentations of the trivial group with two generators and two relators with the following property: The minimal number of relations required to demonstrate that a generator represents the trivial element grows faster than the tower of exponentials of any fixed height of the length of the finite presentation.
