Conjugacy in right-angled Artin groups












2














I am looking for a reference containing the following result:




Let $a$ and $b$ be two elements of a right-angled Artin group $A$. Assume that $a$ and $b$ have minimal length (with respect to the canonical generating set of $A$) in their conjugacy classes. Let $a_1 cdots a_n$ and $b_1 cdots b_m$ be words of minimal length representing $a$ and $b$ respectively. If $a$ and $b$ are conjugate in $A$, then $a_1 cdots a_n$ can be obtained from $b_1 cdots b_m$ by applying the following operations: permutation of two successive letters which commute, and cyclic permutation.




I am sure that it is written somewhere, but I am not able to find where.

                    Accessing regular linux commands in Huawei's Dopra Linux

                    Image
                    4 Backstory: I have a Huawei HG8245 router in my house and I want to change the default username/password. I've tried following this guide but the config file always gets reset. My ISP isn't helping either so I'm looking for other ways to accomplish this. The router has telnet access so this seems like a way to change the credentials. The first shell I gain access to looks like this: WAP> Pressing "?" gives me a list of available commands which I've pasted here, the two interesting ones are "su" and "shell". I can't seem to get su access, even after logging in as root (challenge password prompt, and then nothing happens), but shell gives me a proper linux shell.
