On identities in groups of fractions of cancellative semigroups
Abstract
To solve two problems of Bergman stated in 1981, we construct a group G such that G contains a free noncyclic subgroup (hence, G satisfies no group identity) and G, as a group, is generated by its subsemigroup that satisfies a nontrivial semigroup identity.
