For W a finite set of words, we consider the Rees quotient of a free monoid with respect to the ideal consisting of all words that are not subwords of W. This monoid is denoted by...
We study the Dehn functions of amalgamations, introducing the notion of strongly undistorted subgroups. Using this, we give conditions under which taking an amalgamation does not i...
Starting from a certain monoid that describes the geometry of the left self-distributivity identity, we construct an explicit realization of the free left self-distributive system ...
