No prime and no presentation of G1​ have p-deficiency at least one. Abelianizing the cyclic squaring relations makes each generator zero: for example vwv−1=w2 becomes w=2w, so w=0, and the other four relations kill x,y,z,v. Thus the abelianization of G1​ is trivial and dp​(G1​)=0 for every prime number p. The presentation-independent p-rank of a group bound from the general solution gives
defp​(P)≤dp​(G1​)=0​
(1)
for every group presentation P of G1​. This rules out alternative presentations, not just the one displayed.
