Abstract:
The following question was asked by V. V. Bludov in The Kourovka Notebook in 1995: If a torsion-free group has a finite system of generators , ..., such that every element of has a unique presentation in the form where , is it true that is virtually polycyclic? The answer is ``not always.' A counterexample is constructed in this paper as a group presented by generators and defining relations.
