6 Strin-rewritin and word problem Kapur-Narendran 85, Jantzen 85 : examples of finite strin-rewritin systems - with decidable word problems, - that are not equivalent to any finite converent strin-rewritin system on the same alphabet Example Σ : Σ 1 = { a,b } Σ 2 = { aba bab } there does not exist any finite converent 2-polyraph on Σ 1 Tietze equivalent to Σ However, Σ is Tietze equivalent to the finite converent polyraph: Υ 1 = { a,b,c } Υ 2 = { ab c, ca bc, bcb cc, ccb acc }

7 Σ 1 = { a,b } Σ 2 = { aba bab }

8 Σ 1 = { a,b } Σ 2 = { aba bab } Υ 1 = { a,b,c } Υ 2 = { ab c, ca β bc

9 Σ 1 = { a,b } Σ 2 = { aba bab } Υ 1 = { a,b,c } Υ 2 = { ab c, ca β bc aba ca β bc bab

10 Σ 1 = { a,b } Σ 2 = { aba bab } Υ 1 = { a,b,c } Υ 2 = { ab c, ca β bc aba ca β bc bab bcb β c a b cc

11 Σ 1 = { a,b } Σ 2 = { aba bab } Υ 1 = { a,b,c } Υ 2 = { ab c, ca β bc, bcb cc aba ca β bc bab bcb β c a b cc

16 Strin-rewritin and word problem Questions (Book 85, Kapur-Narendran 85, Jantzen 85, ) - Does a finitely presented decidable monoid have a finite converent presentation? - What conditions a monoid must satisfy if it can be presented by a finite converent rewritin system?

17 Fact Rewritin is not universal to decide the word problem in finitely presented monoids

18 / / I / / / F / First Squier theorem Squier 87 : there are finitely presented decidable monoids which do not have a finite converent presentation Theorem (Squier 87) A monoid havin a finite converent presentation is of homoloical type FP 3 Proof : - Σ a converent strin-rewritin system, M = Σ 1 /Σ 2, - The M-module of homoloical 2-syzyies of Σ kerj ZM[Σ 2 ] is enerated by critical branchins: J ZM[Σ 1 ] ZM Z - There are finitely presented decidable monoids which are not of type FP 3

19 First Squier theorem Example A finitely presented decidable monoid which is not of type FP 3 : M = ( a,b,c,d,d ab = a, da = ac, d a = ac ) infinite converent presentation Σ 1 = { a,b,c,d,d } Σ 2 = { ac n b ac n, n N, da ac, d a ac } dac n b ac n+1 b C n dac n ac n+1 H 3 (M,Z) is the free abelian roup on { Cn C n, n N } d ac n b ac n+1 b C n d ac n ac n+1 Hence M is not of homoloical type FP 3

20 Fact The homoloical finiteness condition FP 3 is not sufficient for a finitely presented decidable monoid to admit a finite converent presentation

21 Second Squier Theorem S(Σ) 2-dimensional combinatorial complex on a strin-rewritin system Σ: - 0-cells are strins in Σ 1, - 1-cells are derivations in Σ 2, - 2-cells are Peiffer elements : ulwl v uawl v ulwa v urwl v Peiff ulwr urwa v v uawr v urwr v Definition Σ has finite derivation type (FDT) if Σ is finite and S(Σ) has a finite set of homotopy trivializers Theorem (Squier 94) i) The property FDT is Tietze invariant for finite strin-rewritin systems ii) A monoid havin a finite converent presentation has FDT There are finitely presented decidable monoids which do not have FDT and which are left-fp 3

22 Two-dimensional homotopy for polyraphs

23 Track n-cateories and homotopy bases Definitions - A track n-cateory is an (n 1)-cateory enriched in roupoids - A homotopy basis of an n-cateory C is a cellular extension Γ such that the track n-cateory C/Γ is aspherical ie, for every n-spheres f A in C, there exists an (n + 1)-cell f in A C(Γ), ie, f = in C/Γ Definition An n-polyraph Σ has finite derivation type (FDT) if i) Σ is finite, ii) the free track n-cateory Σ = Σ n 1 (Σ n) admits a finite homotopy basis Proposition The property FDT is Tietze invariant for finite polyraphs

24 Critical branchins A branchin is critical when it is a "minimal overlappin" of n-cells, such as: Newman s diamond lemma ( 42) : Termination + confluence of critical branchins Converence

25 The homotopy basis of eneratin confluences A eneratin confluence of an n-polyraph Σ is an (n + 1)-cell with (f, ) critical branchin v u f ~! w f ~ u Theorem Let Σ be a converent n-polyraph A cellular extension of Σ made of one eneratin confluence for each critical branchin of Σ is a homotopy basis of Σ

26 / Example I : Mac Lane s coherence theorem Monoidal cateory (C,, I,, λ, ρ) with natural isomorphisms x,y,z : (x y) z x (y z) λ x : I x x ρ x : x I x such that the followin diarams commute: ((x y) z) t (x (y z)) t < / x ((y z) t) c / (x y) (z t) " x (y (z t)) (x I) y? x (I y) c λ ρ / x y Theorem (Mac Lane s coherence theorem 63) In a monoidal cateory, all the diarams built from C,, I,, λ and ρ are commutative

27 Example I : Mac Lane s coherence theorem Let Mon be the 3-polyraph: - one 0-cell, one 1-cell, two 2-cell :,, - three 3-cells : Lemma Mon terminates and is locally confluent, with the followin five eneratin confluences:

28 Example I : Mac Lane s coherence theorem Let Γ = {, } be the cellular extension of Mon with : The track 3-cateory Mon /Γ is the theory of monoidal cateories, ie, there is an equivalence: Monoidal cateories 3-functors Mon /Γ Cat Theorem The 3-cateory Mon /Γ is aspherical Corollary : Mac Lane s coherence theorem

29 Example II : polyraph of permutations Perm 3-polyraph of permutations : - one 0-cell, one 1-cell, one 2-cell : - two 3-cells : and β Theorem Perm is finite, converent and has FDT Perm has an infinite set of critical branchins three reular critical branchins a riht-indexed critical branchin k

31 / / / F! / Generatin confluences and finite derivation type Generatin confluences of a converent n-polyraph Σ form a homotopy basis of Σ Corollary A finite converent n-polyraph with a finite number of critical branchins has FDT Corollary (Squier 94) A finite converent 2-polyraph has FDT - Two shapes of branchin in a 2-polyraph : Reular critical branchin Inclusion critical branchin / D / Theorem For n 3, there exist finite converent n-polyraphs without FDT

32 Critical branchins in 3-polyraphs Reular critical branchin u s v = f v u h = u f sβ v Inclusion critical branchin s = sβ C Riht-indexed critical branchin s k f = h k f = k sβ ;

43 Generatin identities amon relations Theorem Any homotopy basis of the free track cateory Σ forms a eneratin set for the module Π(Σ) Corollary If a polyraph Σ has FDT, then the module Π(Σ) is finitely enerated Corollary If Σ is converent, the module Π(Σ) is enerated by the eneratin confluences of Σ Example Let As be the 2-polyraph (,, ) - As is a finite converent presentation of the monoid a aa = a - As has one eneratin confluence: - Hence the followin element enerates Π(Σ): = 1 ( ) 1 = = =
