The equation x^py^q=z^r and groups that act freely on \Lambda-trees
Let $G$ be a finitely generated group that acts freely on a $\Lambda$-tree, where $\Lambda$ is an ordered abelian group, and let $x, y, z$ be elements in $G$. We show that if $x^p y^q = z^r$ with integers $p$, $q$, $r \geq 4$, then $x$, $y$ and $z$ commute.

Abstract

Let $G$ be a finitely generated group that acts freely on a $\Lambda$-tree, where $\Lambda$ is an ordered abelian group, and let $x, y, z$ be elements in $G$. We show that if $x^p y^q = z^r$ with integers $p$, $q$, $r \geq 4$, then $x$, $y$ and $z$ commute.
