Abstract

In this paper, we develop a small cancellation theory for associative algebras with a basis of invertible elements. Namely, we study quotients of a group algebra of a free group and introduce three axioms for the corresponding defining relations. We show that the obtained ring is non-trivial. Moreover, we show that this ring enjoys a global filtration that agrees with relations, find a basis of the ring as a linear space and establish the corresponding structure theorems. We also provide a revision of a concept of Gröbner basis for our rings and establish a greedy algorithm for the Ideal Membership Problem.
