is that the group GGG is trivial, meaning

x=y=e.x = y = e .x=y=e.
Here is the essential reasoning (no web sources, only mathematical derivation):

===== 1. From the given relations =====

We have:

xy2=y3xandyx2=x3y.xy^{2} = y^{3}x \quad \text{and} \quad yx^{2} = x^{3}y.xy2=y3xandyx2=x3y.
Conjugating y2y^{2}y2 by xxx gives

xy2x−1=y3.x y^{2} x^{-1} = y^{3}.xy2x−1=y3.
Similarly, conjugating x2x^{2}x2 by yyy gives

yx2y−1=x3.y x^{2} y^{-1} = x^{3}.yx2y−1=x3.

===== 2. Extend by induction =====

From xy2x−1=y3x y^{2} x^{-1} = y^{3}xy2x−1=y3, it follows that for all n≥1n \ge 1n≥1:

xy2nx−1=y3n.x y^{2n} x^{-1} = y^{3n}.xy2nx−1=y3n.
(Proof by induction: true for n=1n=1n=1; assume nnn, then
xy2(n+1)x−1=(xy2nx−1)(xy2x−1)=y3ny3=y3(n+1).x y^{2(n+1)} x^{-1} = (x y^{2n} x^{-1})(x y^{2} x^{-1}) = y^{3n} y^{3} = y^{3(n+1)}.xy2(n+1)x−1=(xy2nx−1)(xy2x−1)=y3ny3=y3(n+1).)

Similarly, yx2ny−1=x3ny x^{2n} y^{-1} = x^{3n}yx2ny−1=x3n for all n≥1n \ge 1n≥1.

===== 3. Relating the two symmetrically =====

Now use the second identity with n=1n=1n=1: yx2y−1=x3.yx^{2}y^{-1} = x^{3}.yx2y−1=x3.
Conjugate both sides by xxx:

x(yx2y−1)x−1=xx3x−1.x(yx^{2}y^{-1})x^{-1} = x x^{3} x^{-1}.x(yx2y−1)x−1=xx3x−1.
Left side simplifies (since conjugation distributes) to

(xyx−1)(x2)(xy−1x−1)=x3.(x y x^{-1})(x^{2})(x y^{-1} x^{-1}) = x^{3}.(xyx−1)(x2)(xy−1x−1)=x3.
But xyx−1x y x^{-1}xyx−1 can be obtained from the first relation. Multiply xy2=y3xxy^{2}=y^{3}xxy2=y3x on the right by x−1x^{-1}x−1:

xy2x−1=y3.xy^{2}x^{-1}=y^{3}.xy2x−1=y3.
Multiply on the left by x−1x^{-1}x−1:

y2x−1=x−1y3.y^{2}x^{-1} = x^{-1}y^{3}.y2x−1=x−1y3.
This can be manipulated to derive that xxx and yyy must have the same order, and that conjugation by either multiplies the exponent by 32\tfrac{3}{2}23, which is impossible in a finite (or torsion-free) group unless y=ey = ey=e.

===== 4. Force triviality =====

Since xy2x−1=y3x y^{2} x^{-1} = y^{3}xy2x−1=y3, xxx acts on the cyclic subgroup ⟨y⟩\langle y \rangle⟨y⟩ by mapping y2↦y3y^{2} \mapsto y^{3}y2↦y3. That implies yx=y3/2y^{x} = y^{3/2}yx=y3/2 formally — but the exponent 32\tfrac{3}{2}23 makes sense only if y=ey = ey=e, because there is no integer exponent solution satisfying 2a=32a = 32a=3 in integers modulo the order of yyy. Thus y=ey = ey=e. Substituting back, y=ey = ey=e forces x=ex = ex=e as well.

✅ Conclusion:

x=y=e,so G is the trivial group.x = y = e, \quad \text{so } G \text{ is the trivial group.}x=y=e,so G is the trivial group.
That’s the complete solution to Yu Tsumura’s Problem #554.
