Limit groups and Makanin-Razborov diagrams for hyperbolic groups

This thesis gives a detailed description of Zlil Sela’s construction of Makanin-Razborov diagrams which describe Hom(G, T), the set of all homomorphisms from G to T, where G is a finitely generated group and T is a hyperbolic group. Moreover, while Sela’s construction requires T to be torsion-free,...
