Exponential equations in acylindrically hyperbolic groups

Abstract

Let $G$ be an acylindrically hyperbolic group and $E$ an exponential equation over $G$. We show that if $E$ is solvable in $G$, then there exists a solution whose components, corresponding to loxodromic elements, can be linearly estimated in terms of lengths of the coefficients of $E$. We give a more precise answer in the case where $G$ is a relatively hyperbolic group. Under some assumption of general character, the solvability and the search problems for exponential equations over $G$ can be reduced to the peripheral subgroups of $G$.
