Definition
A group is said to be recursively presentable or recursively presented if it satisfies the following equivalent conditions:
- It possesses a recursive presentation, i.e., a presentation where the set of generators is countably infinite (with an explicit enumeration) and the set of relations is recursively enumerable.
- It possesses a recursive presentation, i.e., a presentation where the number of generators is finite and the set of relations is recursive.
- It is isomorphic to a subgroup of a finitely presented group.
