On identities in groups of fractions of cancellative semigroups
Abstract
Description
To solve two problems of Bergman stated in 1981, we construct a group $G$ such that $G$ contains a free noncyclic subgroup (hence, $G$ satisfies no group identity) and $G$, as a group, is generated by its subsemigroup that satisfies a nontrivial semigroup identity.
