ON THE ASPHERICITY OF LENGTH-6 RELATIVE PRESENTATIONS WITH TORSION-FREE COEFFICIENTS
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 February 2008
Abstract
An interesting result of Ivanov implies that a non-aspherical relative presentation that defines a torsion-free group would provide a potential counterexample to the Kaplansky zero-divisor conjecture. In this point of view, we prove the asphericity of the length-6 relative presentation $\langle H,x: xh_1xh_2xh_3xh_4xh_5xh_6\rangle$, provided that each coefficient is torsion free.
