Explicit construction of benign subgroup for Higman's reversing operation

Group Theory 2025-06-30 v2

Abstract

For the Higman reversing operation ρ\rho and for a set of integer-valued functions X\mathcal X the following has been proved. Let the subgroup AXA_{\mathcal X} be benign in the free group FF, let the respective finitely presented overgroup KXK_{\mathcal X} with its finitely generated subgroup LXL_{\mathcal X} be given for AXA_{\mathcal X} explicitly, and let the set Y=ρX\mathcal Y = \rho\mathcal X be obtained from X\mathcal X by the reversing operation ρ\rho. Then AYA_{\mathcal Y} also is benign in FF and, moreover, the finitely presented overgroup KYK_{\mathcal Y} with its finitely generated subgroup LYL_{\mathcal Y} can also be given explicitly for it. The current work is a step in development of a general algorithm for construction of explicit Higman embeddings of recursive groups into finitely presented groups.
