Centre of orbifold fundamental group of torus (Klein bottle) with one cone point
The groups have trivial center, as pointed out by Sam Nead. Another, more combinatorial, way to show this is to apply the algorithm from [1], which decides whether any given one-relator group has a no …

Prove these are not surface groups
Here's an argument that uses only basic combinatorial group theory (Reidemeister-Schreier).
Let $n \geq 2$, and let $G = \langle a_1, b_1, \dots, a_g, b_g | [a_1, b_1]^n [a_2, b_2] \cdots [a_g, b_g] \ …

Surveys on unknotting number
Lackenby discussed the unknotting number (and mentions some explicit knots for which we do not know the unknotting number!) in

General properties of free-by-cyclic groups
They are all residually finite.
They are not all subgroup separable/LERF.
They do not all have decidable submonoid membership problem.
Residual finiteness is a result which can be found in the (ap …

Looking through a bunch of links for unlinks?
I have never used this particular piece of software, but I have heard good things about the Book Knot Simplifier, which is capable of doing much of what you are describing that you'd want it to -- tho …

Finite two-relator groups and quotients of knot groups
Let $G$ be a one-relator group $\langle A \mid R = 1 \rangle$. Then clearly $G$ is finite if and only if it is cyclic of finite order, i.e. can be given by a presentation $\langle a \mid a^n = 1 \rang …
