A mixed identity-free elementary amenable group

Abstract

A group GG is called mixed identity-free if for every nNn \in \mathbb{N} and every wGFnw \in G \ast F_n there exists a homomorphism φ:GFnG\varphi: G \ast F_n \rightarrow G such that φ\varphi is the identity on GG and φ(w)\varphi(w) is nontrivial. In this paper, we make a modification to the construction of elementary amenable lacunary hyperbolic groups given by Ol'shanskii, Osin, and Sapir to produce finitely generated elementary amenable groups which are mixed identity-free. As a byproduct of this construction, we also obtain locally finite pp-groups which are mixed identity-free.
