Products of Commutators and Products of Squares in a Free Group

Leo P. Comerford Jr., Charles C. Edmunds

Published 1993-10-15Version 1

A classification of the ways in which an element of a free group can be expressed as a product of commutators or as a product of squares is given. This is then applied to some particular classes of elements. Finally, a question about expressing a commutator as a product of squares is addressed.
