Tóm tắt

We consider the finite semigroup presentations of the form $$\begin{aligned} \mathcal {P}=\langle a_1,\cdots ,a_n\mid w_1=a_1,\cdots ,w_n=a_n \rangle \end{aligned}$$ and their Adian graphs. It is known that if both Adian graphs of $$\mathcal {P}$$ are connected and if one of the Adian graphs of $$\mathcal {P}$$ is a cycle graph then $$\mathcal {P}$$ defines a group (see 2008). We extend this result to certain presentations such that neither of the Adian graphs are cycle graphs.
