Negligibity of elliptic elements in ascending HNN-extensions of
We study ascending HNN-extensions G of finitely generated free abelian groups: examples of such G include soluble Baumslag–Solitar groups and fundamental groups of orientable prime 3-manifolds modeled on Sol geometry. In particular, we study the elliptic subgroup A ≤ G consisting of all elements that stabilize a point in the Bass–Serre tree of G. We consider the density of A with respect to ball counting measures corresponding to finite generating sets of G, and we show that A is exponentially negligible in G with respect to such sequences of measures. As a consequence, we show that the set of tuples (x0, ...,xr) εGr+1 such that the (r+1) -fold simple commutator [x0, ...,xr] vanishes, is exponentially negligible in Gr+1 with respect to sequences of ball counting measures.

Abstract
We study ascending HNN-extensions G of finitely generated free abelian groups: examples of such G include soluble Baumslag–Solitar groups and fundamental groups of orientable prime 3-manifolds modeled on Sol geometry. In particular, we study the elliptic subgroup A ≤ G consisting of all elements that stabilize a point in the Bass–Serre tree of G. We consider the density of A with respect to ball counting measures corresponding to finite generating sets of G, and we show that A is exponentially negligible in G with respect to such sequences of measures. As a consequence, we show that the set of tuples (x0, ...,xr) εGr+1 such that the (r+1) -fold simple commutator [x0, ...,xr] vanishes, is exponentially negligible in Gr+1 with respect to sequences of ball counting measures.
