Is there a decision procedure which, for a fixed finitely presented group ⟨X | R⟩ and arbitrary word w in the generators, determines whether w represents the identity element? Answer: no such procedure exists uniformly — indeed some individual finitely presented groups have unsolvable word problem.
Dehn framed it (with the conjugacy and isomorphism problems) while building combinatorial group theory from knot theory needs. Pyotr Novikov (1955) and William Boone (1958) independently constructed finitely presented groups with undecidable word problem, transplanting Turing-machine encoding into algebra via Britton extensions and Higman's embedding theorem (1961): a finitely generated group embeds in a finitely presented one iff its presentation is recursively enumerable. The trilogy with Church and Matiyasevich forms undecidability's monument row.
