Jul 20, 2023 at 15:09 comment added Carl-Fredrik Nyberg Brodda To show further how much “easier” this subcase of the isomorphism problem for one-relator groups is than the general case (which is still open, as you know), Pride also gave examples of words $w_1, w_2$ (over $a,b$) such that the groups $G_1$ resp. $G_2$ with relation $w_1^n = 1$ resp. $w_2^n = 1$ are isomorphic if and only if $n=1$. That is, in the $2$-generated torsion case the isomorphism classes are a lot more “sparse”, indeed only related by Nielsen transformations as Pride proved.
