Identities with coefficients in simple compact Lie groups

Abstract: We conjecture that if

G

is a simple compact Lie group with trivial center, then every

d

-variable non-constant word map with coefficients in

G

defines a non-constant function on

G^{d}

. We prove the conjecture for

A_{r}

,

B_{r}

,

E_{6}

, and

G_{2}

using a ping-pong argument.
