Abstract

Description

The Andrews-Curtis conjecture states that every balanced presentation of the trivial group can be reduced to the standard one by a sequence of the elementary Nielsen transformations and conjugations. In this paper we describe all balanced presentations of the trivial group on two generators and with the total length of relators <= 12. We show that all these presentations satisfy the Andrews-Curtis conjecture.
