David Wheeler

@Adeal normally what people are doing is creating a quotient group of the free group on the number of generators.
the simplest instance of this is when you have a free group on one generator, say A. this group is infinite cyclic. if you let R be the subgroup generated by any word, like $A^k$, you get a finite cyclic group. this is the same as saying we have the set of relations R = {$A^k = e$}

i saw an interesting, but erroneous proof that all primitive roots of unity satisfy the same polynomials.
it went as follows: note that $\varphi: R[x] \to R[x]$ given by $\varphi(f(x)) = f(x^p)$ is a ring homomorphism. so if $f(x) = 0$ then $f(x^p) = 0$. now let $x = \zeta_n$.
it's easy to prove that unicorns exist by contradiction.

They are associated with Útgarða-Loki, a great and devious giant featured in one of the myths concerning Thor and the other Loki who compete in rigged competitions held in the Outyards.
