Abstract: A. K. Bousfield's $HmathbbZ$-localization of groups inverts homologically two-connected homomorphisms of groups. J. P. Levine's algebraic closure of groups inverts homomorphisms between finitely generated and finitely presented groups which are homologically two-connected and for which the image normally generates. We resolve an old problem concerning Bousfield $HmathbbZ$-localization of groups, and answer two questions of Levine regarding algebraic closure of groups. In particular, we show that the kernel of the natural homomorphism from a group $G$ to it's Bousfield $HmathbbZ$-localization is not always a $G$-perfect subgroup. In the case of algebraic closure of groups, we prove the analogous result that this kernel is not always an invisible subgroup.
