A Lyndon’s identity theorem for one-relator monoids

For every one-relator monoid M= ⟨ A∣ u= v⟩ with u, v∈ A∗ we construct a contractible M-CW complex and use it to build a projective resolution of the trivial module which is finitely generated in all dimensions. This proves that all one-relator monoids are of type FP ∞, answering positively a problem...
