Abstract
We introduce a new invariant of finitely generated groups, the ambiguity function, and we prove that every finitely generated acylindrically hyperbolic group has a linearly bounded ambiguity function.
We use this result to prove that the relative exponential growth rate

This article grew out of my masterβs thesis, which I wrote at the Heinrich Heine University under the supervision of Prof. Oleg Bogopolski. I would like to thank him for introducing me to the subject of hyperbolic groups and supporting me during my bachelor and master studies.
