An exotic presentation of Q_28

Abstract

We introduce a new family of presentations for the quaternion groups and show that for the quaternion group of order 28, one of these presentations has non-standard second homotopy group.

22 pages. Appendix added this version contains proofs of number theoretic results, which make article self-contained
