An element $g$ in a group such that neither $g=1$ nor $g\ne 1$ can be proved.
Edited (this question contains two versions of a similar question)
Is there some finitely presented group $G$ generated by $g_1,...,g_n$ such that
there is an element $g\in G$ expressed as a finite ...

Membership problem in monoids
What is the simplest example of a monoid with undecidable membership problem? In other words, I'm looking for a concrete monoid $S$ such that there is no algorithm which takes elements $s_1,...,s_n$ ...

How bad can the recursive properties of finitely presented groups be?
Any finitely presented group naturally gives rise to an edge-labeled graph (the Cayley graph) and I am considering paths through this graph. Paths correspond to infinite sequences of generators, so ...

A decision problem of an inverse problem in finite group theory
A finite group $G$ is called integral if there is a finite group $H$ such that $G\cong H'$.
In Araujo, Cameron, Casolo, Matucci's paper, integrals of groups, they tried to solve a problem as following:...

Is the cohomology ring of a finite group computable?
Is there an algorithm which halts on all inputs that takes as input a finite group ($p$-group if you like) and outputs a finite presentation of the cohomology ring (with trivial coefficients $\mathbb{...

Groups generated by 3 involutions
Let $r(m)$ denote the residue class $r+m\mathbb{Z}$, where $0 \leq r < m$.
Given disjoint residue classes $r_1(m_1)$ and $r_2(m_2)$, let the class transposition
$\tau_{r_1(m_1),r_2(m_2)}$ be the ...
