Equations in Free Inverse Monoids

چکیده
It is known that the problem of determining consistency of a finite system of equations in a free group or a free monoid is decidable, but the corresponding problem for systems of equations in a free inverse monoid of rank at least two is undecidable. Any solution to a system of equations in a free inverse monoid induces a solution to the corresponding system of equations in the associated free group in an obvious way, but solutions to systems of equations in free groups do not necessarily lift to solutions in free inverse monoids. In this paper we show that the problem of determining whether a solution to a finite system of equations in a free group can be extended to a solution of the corresponding system in the associated free inverse monoid is decidable. We are able to use this to solve the consistency problem for certain classes of single variable equations in free inverse monoids.

Solvability of Equations in Free Partially Commutative Groups Is Decidable
Trace monoids are well-studied objects in computer science where they serve as a basic algebraic tool for analyzing concurrent systems. The question whether the existential theory of trace equations is decidable has been solved positively in 1996. Free partially commutative groups (graph groups) generalize trace monoids in the sense that every element has an inverse. In this paper we show that ...
متن کاملA Correspondence between Balanced Varieties and Inverse Monoids
There is a well-known correspondence between varieties of algebras and fully invariant congruences on the appropriate term algebra. A special class of varieties are those which are balanced, meaning they can be described by equations in which the same variables appear on each side. In this paper, we prove that the above correspondence, restricted to balanced varieties, leads to a correspondence...
متن کاملPartially Commutative Inverse Monoids
Free partially commutative inverse monoids are investigated. Analogously to free partially commutative monoids (trace monoids), free partially commutative inverse monoids are the quotients of free inverse monoids modulo a partially defined commutation relation on the generators. A quasi linear time algorithm for the word problem is presented, more precisely, we give an O(n log(n)) algorithm for...
متن کاملSolvability of Equations in Graph Groups Is Decidable
Solving equations in algebraic structures is a fundamental task in mathematics. Here we tackle this problem for free partially commutative monoids with involution and for graph groups, which are free groups with a partial commutation relation between generators. Basic algebraic structures involving partial commutations are free partially commutative monoids (also known as trace monoids). They w...
متن کاملFinding All Solutions of Equations in Free Groups and Monoids with Involution
The aim of this paper is to present a PSPACE algorithm which yields a finite graph of exponential size and which describes the set of all solutions of equations in free groups as well as the set of all solutions of equations in free monoids with involution in the presence of rational constraints. This became possible due to the recently invented recompression technique of the second author. He ...
