Decision problems concerning surjections and embeddings of groups

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Jonathan Nelson .

The isomorphism problem, of deciding if two presentations define isomorphic groups, has been shown to be algorithmically impossible for finitely presented groups. However, if we start with two finite presentations P and Q which define isomorphic groups, then we can algorithmically construct an explicit isomorphism between them. Moreover, we can algorithmically enumerate all finite presentations of groups isomorphic to a given group. In this talk I will discuss variations of these ideas, when we replace the word “isomorphic” with “surjects onto” or “embeds into”, giving existing results as well as some of my own recent work.
