Andrews-Curtis and Todd-Coxeter proof words

George Havas, Colin M. Ramsay · Cambridge University Press eBooks · 2003

Andrews and Curtis have conjectured that every balanced presentation of the trivial group can be transformed into a standard presentation by a finite sequence of elementary transformations. It can be difficult to determine whether or not the conjecture holds for a particular presentation. We show that the utility PEACE, which produces proofs based on Todd-Coxeter coset enumeration, can produce Andrews-Curtis proofs.
