English Let G be a group that acts freely on a Λ -tree, where Λ is an ordered abelian group, and let x ,y, z be elements in G . We show that if xpy q = zr with integers p, q, r 4, then x , y and z commute. As a result, the one-relator groups with xpy q = zr as relator, are examples of hyperbolic and CAT( 1) groups which do not act freely on any Λ-tree.
