Consistency criterion for torsion-free nilpotent group presentations
Consistency criterion for torsion-free nilpotent group presentations
Let , let be a sequence of indeterminates, and let be the coefficients obtained from the associativity defect polynomial defined by the multiplication polynomials . Define
Consistency conjecture. If
then .
Associativity proves the necessity of the coefficient equations; the conjecture asserts their sufficiency and would give an alternative algebraic description of consistency for these nilpotent presentations. The supplied text reports only experimental evidence and does not indicate a resolution.
