The subgroup membership conjecture for the groups B(P3,k)B(P_{3,k})

At least 3 years old · documented by

For each integer k≥2k\geq 2, let

B(P3,k)=Gp⁡⟨a,b,c∣[a,bk]=1,[a,c]=1⟩.B(P_{3,k})=\operatorname{Gp}\langle a,b,c\mid [a,b^k]=1,[a,c]=1\rangle.

The subgroup membership conjecture for B(P3,k)B(P_{3,k}). The subgroup membership problem is decidable in B(P3,k)B(P_{3,k}) for every k≥2k\geq 2. The subgroup membership problem is known to be undecidable for related groups such as B(P3,k)B(P_{3,k})'s submonoid membership problem when k≥2k\geq 2, while decidability of subgroup membership here is presented as an open problem motivated by the absence of an embedded subgroup isomorphic to F2×F2F_2\times F_2.
