Free crossed resolutions of groups and presentations of modules of identities among relations

Group Theory 2007-05-23 v1 Algebraic Topology

Abstract

We give formulae for a module presentation of the module of identities among relations for a presentation of a group, in terms of information on 0- and 1-combings of the Cayley graph. This is seen as a special case of extending a partial free crossed resolution of a group given a partial contracting homotopy of its universal cover.
