Abstract

This paper continues our study started in [5] of the group G defined by the presentation

formula here

where m [ges ] 2, n [ges ] 2 and ∈i = ±1 for 1 [les ] i [les ] 2. The problem under consideration can be stated as: precisely when does both a have order m and b have order n in the group G? This question arose as a result of our investigation into equations over groups and the connection is explained in Section 2.
