Rational series in the free group and the Connes operator

Aaron Lauve, Christophe Reutenauer

Published 2018-06-09Version 1

We characterize rational series over the free group by using an operator introduced by A. Connes. We prove that rational Malcev--Neumann series posses rational expressions without simplifications. Finally, we develop an effective algorithm for solving the word problem in the free skew field.
