      We formulate a generalized AC-conjecture for an arbitrary group and prove that it holds for  

      every finite group. In fact, there are no counter examples to the generalized AC conjecture

      so far. Such examples would shed some light on potential counterexamples to the original AC

      conjecture.

 

87. Pattern Recognition and Minimal Words in Free Groups of Rank 2 (with Robert M.

      Haralick and Alexei D. Miasnikov), submitted. [.pdf]

      We describe a linear time probabilistic algorithm to recognize Whitehead minimal

      elements (elements of minimal length in their automorphic orbits) in free groups of rank 2.

      Moreover, for a non-minimal element the algorithm gives an automorphism that will most

      likely reduce the length of the element. This method is based on linear regression and pattern 

      recognition techniques. I did not believe this myself first, until I've seen it working with my

      own eyes.

      minimal length in automorphic orbits) in arbitrary free groups. The classical Whitehead's

      algorithm is extremely inefective for free groups of big ranks, but this genetic version of it

      works all right. Also we formulate several mathematical conjectures that came out of our

      experiments.
