Abstract
We show that the equation associated with a group word can be solved over a hyperlinear group if its content — that is, its augmentation in — does not lie in the second term of the lower central series of . Moreover, if is finite, then a solution can be found in a finite extension of . The method of proof extends techniques developed by Gerstenhaber and Rothaus, and uses computations in –local homotopy theory and cohomology of compact Lie groups.
