Biautomaticity conjecture for compact nonpositively curved triangle-square complexes
Biautomaticity conjecture for compact nonpositively curved triangle-square complexes
Let be a compact nonpositively curved triangle-square complex, meaning a complex built from triangles and squares with nonpositive curvature, and let denote its fundamental group. Biautomaticity conjecture. The fundamental group is biautomatic. This would extend the Gersten–Short theorem from complexes consisting solely of triangles or solely of squares to complexes mixing both types of cells; the paper presents it as the main conjecture, with the proposed geodesic construction and its required fellow-travelling and regular-language properties still to be established.
