The following are examples of finitely presented groups. For each of them, we offer the ApCoCoA code to compute the Gröbner basis of the defining ideal of their group ring.
Examples in Symbolic Data Format
Baumslag Groups
Baumslag-Solitar groups are examples of two-generator one-relator groups.
BS(m,n) = <a,b | ba^{m} = a^{n}b>
where m, n are natural numbers. Computations of Baumslag Groups.
Another variation of the Baumslag groups, called the Baumslag-Gersten group, is defined by:
BG = <a,b | (b^{-1}a^{-1}b)a(b^{-1}a^{-1}b) = a^{2}>
Computations of Baumslag-Gersten Groups.
Braid Groups
For a natural number n, the following is a presentation of the Braid group with n-1 generators and n strands.
B(n) = <g_{1},...,g_{n-1} | g_{i}g_{j} = g_{j}g_{i} for |i-j| >= 2, g_{i}g_{i+1}g_{i} = g_{i+1}g_{i}g_{i+1} for 1 <= i <= n-2>
Artin Groups (Generalized Braid Groups)
An Artin group (Generalized Braid group) is a group with a representation of the form
G = <x_{1},...,x_{n} | <x_1,x_2>^{m_{1,2}} = <x_2,x_1>^{m_{2,1}}, ... , <x_{n-1},x_{n}>^{m_{n-1,n}} = <x_{n},x_{n-1}>^{m_{n,n-1}}>
where m_{i,j} = m_{j,i} > 1
If m is not infinity <x_i,x_j>^{m} denotes an alterning product of x_i and x_j of length m beginning with x_i.
For example <x_1,x_2>^{4} = x_1x_2_x1_x2

Third Coxeter Group is the group F4 with the presentation:

Computation of the Coxeter Group F4
Other Groups
The following groups are either special cases of the groups above or hasn't been named yet.
The first example is a group which has the same count of generators and relations (#Generators = #Relations) and is solvable with length 6.
1) G = <a,b | a^{2}b^{-6} = (ab^{-1})^{3}ab^{-2}ab^{k}a^{-1}b = 1> where k is congruent to 3 mod 6.
Computations of the other Group 1
The next group, denoted by G, is the largest finite generalized triangle group and called the Rosenberger Monster. This group has an order |G| = 2^{20}*3^{4}*5.
2) G = <a,b | a^2 = b^3 = (abababab^{2}ab^{2}abab^{2}ab^{2})^2 = 1>
Levai, Rosenberger and Souvignier showed that G is finite an the group below, denoted by H, is infinite.
3) H = <a,b | a^2 = b^3 = (abababab^{2}abab^{2}ab^{2})^2 = 1>
Computations of the other Groups 2 and 3
This group is an example of a generalized triangle group with order |G| = 1440
4) G = <a,b | a^2 = b^3 = (ababab^{2})^{3} = 1>
Computations of the other Group 4
The following groups, denoted by G and H, are both solvable with length 4 but differs in the factors. G has an order |G| = 4224.
5) G = <a,b | a^{2}b^{-4} = (ababab^{3})^{2} = 1> 6) H = <a,b | a^{2}b^{4} = (ababab^{3})^{2} = 1>
Computations of the other Groups 5 and 6
The next group denoted by G has the following representation:
7) G = <a,b | a^{2}b^{-3} = (ababa^{2}ab^{2})^2 = 1>
It holds that |G| = 9216 and that G is solvable of length 4.
Computations of the other Group 7
The next group, denoted by H(r,n,s) has more relations and depends on three parameters. The finite representation for r > s and s >= 0 is given by:
8) H(r,n,s) = <a_{1},a_{2},...,a_{n} | a_{1}a_{2}..a_{r} = a_{r+1}a_{r+2}..a_{r+s}, a_{2}a_{3}..a_{r+1} = a_{r+2}a_{r+3}..a_{r+s+1},..,a_{n}a_{1}..a_{r-1} = a_{r}a_{r+1}..a_{r+s-1}>
Computations of the other Group 8
This group has the following finite representation:
9) F(r,n,k) = <a_{1},a_{2},..,a_{n} | a_{1}a_{2}..a_{r} = a_{r+k},a_{2}a_{3}..a_{r+1} = a_{r+k+1},..,a_{n}a_{1}a_{2}..a_{r-1} = a_{r+k-1}>
It follow that the group number 8 (denoted by H(r,n,s)) is isomorphic to the group F(r,n,k) for s = k = 1.
A special case which is also isomorphic to H(r,n,s) is the group denoted by F(r,n). A finite representation is given by:
10) F(r,n) = <a_{1},..,a_{n} | a_{1}a_{2}..a_{r} = a_{r+1},..,a_{n}a_{1}..a_{r-1} = a_{r}>
Computations of the other Groups 9 and 10
The next group consists of two generators and two relations (#generators = #relations) with the following representation:
11) G = <x,t | xt^{r} = tx^{r},t^{n} = 1>
for r >= 1 and n >= 2
Computations of the other Group 11
Group number 12 has the following finite representation:
12) G = <x,t | tx^{a}t^{-1} = x^{b},t^{n} = 1>
for a,b >= 1 and n >= 2. In this case (like group number 11 above) the count of generators is equal to the count of relations.
Computations of the other Group 12
For the next group we need four parameters: a,b,c,d. It is represented by this representation:
13) G = <x,y | x^2 = xy^{a}xy^{b}xy^{c}xy^{d} = 1>
