The nonabelian tensor square G⊗G of a group G is generated by the symbols g⊗h, g, h ∈ G, subject to the relations

,

for all g, g′, h, h′ ∈ G, where The tensor square is a special case of the nonabelian tensor product which has its origins in homotopy theory. It was introduced by R. Brown and J. L. Loday in [4] and [5], extending ideas of Whitehead in [6].
