A geometric proof that $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z}[t,t^{-1}])$ is not finitely presented

Kai-Uwe Bux and Kevin Wortman

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 6 (2006) 839–852

arXiv: math.GR/0412101

Abstract

We give a new proof of the theorem of Krstić–McCool from the title. Our proof has potential applications to the study of finiteness properties of other subgroups of SL2 resulting from rings of functions on curves.
