Domain-specific

• Baumslag–Gersten Group
  • … while the group itself is non-cyclic; consequently it is not residually finite. Gersten used the group as a central example in the study of Dehn functions, where efficiently written conjugation towers expand to extraordinarily large powers and make null-homotopies far more expensive than the input words suggest.
