Review text

The authors prove the following Theorem: Let \(\Gamma\) be a \(\delta\)-hyperbolic group equipped with a given finite system of generators. Then there exists an explicit constant \(n\) such that for any elements \(f\) and \(g\) of \(\Gamma\), there exists \(\varepsilon=\pm 1\) such that \(f^n\) and \(g^{\varepsilon n}\) are nontrivial, and such that either the group generated by \(f^n\) and \(g^{\varepsilon n}\) is \(\mathbb{Z}\), or these two elements freely generate as monoid (or semi-group) a free monoid.NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 0955.00015].
