Let G be a group and

a free presentation of G, i.e. a short exact sequence of groups with F free. Conjugation in F induces on = R/R', the abelianized normal subgroup R, the structure of a right G-module (if r∈ R, x∈ F then (r)(xπ) = x-1rxR'). The G-module is called the relation module determined by the presentation (1). For a detailed discussion of this subject we refer to Gruenberg [3].
