Right weak Engel conditions on linear groups (Q2293130)

Let \(\mathfrak{X}\) be a class of groups. A group \(G\) is right \(\mathfrak{X}\)-Engel if, for all \(g \in G\), there exists a \(\mathfrak{X}\)-subgroup \(E \leq G\) such that for all \(x \in G\) there is a positive integer \(m(x)\) with \([g,\, _{n} x] \in E\) for all \(n \geq m(x)\). Let \(G\) be a linear group, in this paper it is proved: (1) If \(\mathfrak{X}\) is the class of all Chernikov groups, or all locally finite groups, then \(G\) is right \(\mathfrak{X}\)-Engel if and only if \(G\) has a normal \(\mathfrak{X}\)-subgroup modulo which \(G\) is hypercentral. (2) The same conclusion holds if \(G\) has positive characteristic and \(\mathfrak{X}\) is one of the following classes: polycyclic-by-finite groups, groups of finite Prüfer rank, minimax groups, groups with finite Hirsch number, soluble-by-finite groups with finite abelian total rank.
