The positive-theory conjecture for non-cyclic one-relator groups
A one-relator group is a group admitting a presentation with one defining relator. A group has trivial positive theory when every positive sentence true in some nontrivial group is true in it. The Baumslag–Solitar group is
Positive-theory conjecture. A non-cyclic one-relator group has trivial positive theory unless it is isomorphic to for some . This is the positive-theory analogue of the conjecture characterising SQ-universal one-relator groups; the source presents it as a natural conjecture, with no resolution supplied.
