Finite presentation from a synchronous combing

ID: finite-presentation-from-a-synchronous-combing

Attach relators for every identity word of length at most , where is an integer fellow-traveller constant. For any null loop, connect its consecutive combing paths at integer heights by rungs of length at most . Each resulting quadrilateral has perimeter at most and thus is a relator. The bottom row is collapsed at the identity and the top row is the original loop, so these finitely many relators fill every null word and present the group.
