A combinatorial problem in infinite groups.

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: Let w be a word in the free group of rank ninmathbbN and let mathcalV(w) be the variety of groups defined by the law w=1. Define mathcalV(w) to be the class of all groups G in which for any infinite subsets X1,...,Xn there exist xiinXi, 1leqileqn, such that w(x1,...,xn)=1. Clearly, mathcalV(w)cupmathcalFsubseteqmathcalV(w); mathcalF being the class of finite groups. In this paper, we investigate some words w and some certain classes mathcalP of groups for which the equality (mathcalV(w)cupmathcalF)capmathcalP=mathcalPcapmathcalV(w) holds.
