Applications of Fox's derivation in determining the generators of a group
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 April 2009
Abstract
We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a set of elements to be a generating set of a quotient group F/N, where F is the free group of rank n and N is a normal subgroup of F. Birman's Inverse Function Theorem is a corollary of our criterion. As an application of this criterion, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for a set of elements of the Burnside group B (n,p) of exponent p and rank n to be a generating set.
