From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Andrews-Curtis conjecture states that every balanced presentation of the trivial group can be transformed into a trivial presentation by a sequence of Nielsen transformations together with a random conjugation of a relator. It is not difficult to verify whether the conjecture holds for a given balanced presentation or not.

Although it is believed that the Andrews-Curtis conjecture is false, there are not many possible counterexamples known.
