Review text

The authors define an infinite sequence \(w_n(x,y)\) of two-variable words and conjecture that a finite group is soluble if and only if there is some \(n\) such that \(w_n(x,y)=1\) for all \(x,y\in G\). The problem is quickly reduced to a verification of the minimal non-soluble groups [\textit{J. G. Thompson}, Bull. Am. Math. Soc. 74, 383-437 (1968; Zbl 0159.30804)]. A strategy based on algebraic geometry considerations is proposed and illustrated with two examples.
