HNN Extensions of Groups #

This file defines the HNN extension of a group G, HNNExtension G A B φ. Given a group G, subgroups A and B and an isomorphism φ of A and B, we adjoin a letter t to G, such that for any a ∈ A, the conjugate of of a by t is of (φ a), where of is the canonical map from G into the HNNExtension. This construction is named after Graham Higman, Bernhard Neumann and Hanna Neumann.
