We prove that a group is presented by finite convergent length-reducing rewriting systems where each rule has left-hand side of length 3 if and only if the group is plain. Our proof goes via a new result concerning properties of embedded…
We present a complete rewriting system for twisted right-angled Artin groups. Utilizing the normal form coming from the rewriting system, we provide applications that illustrate differences and similarities with right-angled Artin groups,…
This paper investigates the class of finitely presented monoids defined by homogeneous (length-preserving) relations from a computational perspective. The properties of admitting a finite complete rewriting system, having finite derivation…
Presentations of groups by rewriting systems (that is, by monoid presentations), have been fruitfully studied by encoding the rewriting system in a $2$--complex -- the Squier complex -- whose fundamental groupoid then describes the…
We describe several technical tools that prove to be efficient for investigating the rewrite systems associated with a family of algebraic laws, and might be useful for more general rewrite systems. These tools consist in introducing a…
A rewriting system is a set of equations over a given set of terms called rules that characterize a system of computation and is a powerful general method for providing decision procedures of equational theories, based upon the principle of…
Multifraction reduction is a new approach to the word problem for Artin-Tits groups and, more generally, for the enveloping group of a monoid in which any two elements admit a greatest common divisor. This approach is based on a rewrite…
It is proved that, given a (von Neumann) regular semigroup with finitely many left and right ideals, if every maximal subgroup is presentable by a finite complete rewriting system, then so is the semigroup. To achieve this, the following…
Self-similar group actions may be encoded by a class of left cancellative monoids called left Rees monoids, a result obtained by combining pioneering work by Perrot with later work by the first author. Left Rees monoids that are also right…
A prefix monoid is a finitely generated submonoid of a finitely presented group generated by the prefixes of its defining relators. Important results of Guba (1997), and of Ivanov, Margolis and Meakin (2001), show how the word problem for…
In this paper, we introduce monoidal rewriting systems (MRS), an abstraction of string rewriting in which reductions are defined over an arbitrary ambient monoid rather than a free monoid of words. This shift is partly motivated by logic:…
We present an algorithmic approach to the conjugacy problems in monoids and semigroups, using rewriting systems. There is a class of monoids and semigroups that satisfy the condition that the transposi- tion problem and the left and right…
String rewriting systems have proved very useful to study monoids. In good cases, they give finite presentations of monoids, allowing computations on those and their manipulation by a computer. Even better, when the presentation is…
In this article, we prove that embeddings of right-angled Artin group $A_1$ on the complement of a linear forest into another right-angled Artin group $A_2$ can be reduced to full embeddings of the defining graph of $A_1$ into the extension…
In this paper we study rewriting systems for groups and monoids, focusing on situations where finite convergent systems may be difficult to find or do not exist. We consider systems which have no length increasing rules and are confluent…
In this paper, we construct embeddings of right-angled Artin groups into higher dimensional Thompson groups. In particular, we embed every right-angled Artin groups into n-dimensional Thompson group, where n is the number of complementary…
For a hierarchically hyperbolic group, we provide sufficient conditions under which suitable powers of a finite collection of elements generate a right-angled Artin subgroup. Under additional hypotheses, we further show that this subgroup…
A monoid $S$ is right coherent if every finitely generated subact of every finitely presented right $S$-act is finitely presented. The corresponding notion for a ring $R$ states that every finitely generated submodule of every finitely…
A combinatorial property of prositive group presentations, called completeness, is introduced, with an effective criterion for recognizing complete presentations, and an iterative method for completing an incomplete presentation. We show…
We describe a formalism, using groupoids, for the study of rewriting for presentations of inverse monoids, that is based on the Squier complex construction for monoid presentations. We introduce the class of pseudoregular groupoids, an…
