Abstract:

We prove that finite presentations of ${\pi _n}X$ are effectively computable, when $X$ is a connected, effectively locally finitely dominated nilpotent complex. The relationship between the solvability of the homotopy problem in recursive Kan complexes and the word problem in homotopy groups plays a role.
