Abstract
In this paper we construct a continuum family of non-isomorphic 3-generator groups in which the identity holds with probability 1, while failing to hold universally in each group. This resolves a recent question about the relationship between probabilistic and universal satisfaction of group identities. Our construction uses -periodic products of cyclic groups of order and two-generator relatively free groups satisfying identities of the form . We prove that in each of these products, the probability of satisfying is equal to 1, despite the fact that the identity does not hold throughout any of these groups.
