Azevedo–Shumyatsky conciseness conjecture for commutators of non-commutator words

Let u1,,uru_1,\ldots,u_r be non-commutator words in pairwise disjoint sets of variables. For a group word v=v(x1,,xr)v=v(x_1,\ldots,x_r), write v(u1,,ur)v(u_1,\ldots,u_r) for the word obtained by substituting the uiu_i into vv. A word is concise if, in every group, finiteness of its set of values implies finiteness of its verbal subgroup.

Azevedo–Shumyatsky conjecture. The word

γr(u1,,ur)=[u1,,ur]\gamma_r(u_1,\ldots,u_r)=[u_1,\ldots,u_r]

is concise.

This conjecture generalizes known conciseness results for commutators involving non-commutator words; the paper's abstract states that it proves this generalized conjecture for lower central and derived words.
