Abstract

In this paper we discuss a general approach to positive theories of groups. As an application we get a robust description of positive theories of groups with regular free Lyndon length function. Our approach combines techniques of infinite words (see [17, 3]), cancellation diagrams introduced in [14], and Merzlyakov's method [15].
