Jan 8, 2022 at 17:17 comment added მამუკა ჯიბლაძე No idea if this can be used in any way but $E(G)$ can be realized as a free algebra in a variety of universal algebras. Extend the variety $\mathbf{Gr}$ of groups to the variety $G{\downarrow}\mathbf{Gr}$ by adding constants from $G$ in a standard way. That is, add constants $c_g$, one for each $g\in G$, and identities $c_xc_y=c_{xy}$ for all $x,y\in G$. Then, $G$ itself is an algebra in this variety, with $c_g=g$. Next, let $V_G$ be the subvariety of $G{\downarrow}\mathbf{Gr}$ generated by $G$. Then $E(G)$ is the free algebra on a single generator in $V_G$.

Dec 21, 2021 at 18:25 comment added Benjamin Steinberg Notice of you use generators the generators of G for the c_g and x for the identity map, then you can present E(G) by the relations for G plus all words w involving x for which the universally quantified statement for all x\in G w=1 is true. So if the universal theory of G is decidable then E(G) is recursively presented. There are finitely generated nilpotent groups with undecidable universal theory but I don't know if you can use such simple sentences.
