The Cohen--Lyndon property in non-metric small-cancellation

arXiv:2310.20288

Abstract

We show that the Cohen--Lyndon property holds for all non-metric small-cancellation quotients. This generalises the analogous result from the metric small-cancellation setting, and answers a question asked by Lyndon in 1966 and by Wall in his 1979 problem list.
