Abstract
We refine the known result that the generalized word problem for finitely-generated subgroups of free groups is complete for P via logspace reductions and show that by restricting the lengths of the words in any instance and by stipulating that all words must be conjugates then we obtain complete problems for the complexity classes NSYMLOG, NL, and P. The proofs of our results range greatly: some are complexity-theoretic in nature (for example, proving completeness by reducing from another known complete problem), some are combinatorial, and one involves the characterization of complexity classes as problems describable in some logic.
