Commutators in residually finite groups

From MaRDI portal





The main results of the paper are the following. Theorem 4.2. Let \(X\) denote the class of all groups \(G\) such that \([G,G]\) is locally finite and \(G\) satisfies the identity \(([x_1,x_2][x_3,x_4])^n\equiv 1\) for some \(n\) that has no divisors of the form \(p^2q^2\), where \(p,q\) are distinct primes. Then \(X\) is a variety. Theorem 1.3. Let \(n\) be a positive integer that is not divisible by \(p^2q^2\), where \(p,q\) are distinct primes. Let \(G\) be a residually finite group satisfying the identity \(([x_1,x_2][x_3,x_4])^n\equiv 1\). Then \([G,G]\) is locally finite.
