Abstract

For any integers m,nm,n with m0m\ne 0 and n>0n>0, let Gm,nG_{m,n} denote the group presented by x,y,zx=[zm,x][zn,y]\langle x,y,z\mid x=[z^m,x][z^n,y]\rangle; for any integers m,n>0m,n>0, let Hm,nH_{m,n} denote the group presented by x,y,zx=[xm,zn][y,z]\langle x,y,z\mid x=[x^m,z^n][y,z]\rangle. By investigating cohomology jump loci of irreducible GL(2,C){\rm GL}(2,\mathbb{C})-character varieties, we show: if m,m0m,m'\ne 0, n,n>0n,n'>0 and Gm,nGm,nG_{m',n'}\cong G_{m,n}, then m=m,n=nm=m',n=n'; if m,m,n,n>0m,m',n,n'>0 and Hm,nHm,nH_{m',n'}\cong H_{m,n}, then m=m,n=nm'=m, n'=n.
