how do I find the presentation of the fundamental group of $\mathbb{P}^2\#\mathbb{T}$? I only know that it is a quotient of the free group of rank 4 by the least normal subgroup containing the elements of the form $\alpha_1^2 \alpha_2^2 \beta_1 \beta_2 \beta_1^{-1}\beta_2^{-1}$. Thanks.

I think that answer is obvious: the free group of order 4 (generated by $a,b,c,d$) such that $a^2 b^2 c= dc d^{-1}$, am I right?

    @JimConant I think that the problem is what do I mean by "a presentation", after thinking about it, I remembered the definition.2012-03-08
