Abstract

Let [Gamma] be a torsion-free group which is hyperbolic relative to a collection of free abelian subgroups. We construct Makanin–Razborov diagrams for [Gamma]. We also prove that every system of equations over [Gamma] is equivalent to a finite subsystem, and a number of structural results about [Gamma]–limit groups.
