A DESCRIPTION OF SOLUTIONS OF QUADRATIC EQUATIONS IN HYPERBOLIC GROUPS Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • A description is given for the set of solutions of a quadratic equation in a hyperbolic group. It consists of a finite set of parametric solutions of the equation which generates all solutions by the action of a group which may be interpreted as a special mapping class group of a compact surface.
