A version of Lie theorem for divisible solvable groups (Q829075)

The well known Lie-Kolchin theorem asserts that a soluble linear group over an algebraically closed field contains a triangularizable subgroup of finite index (see for instance Theorem 5.8 of [\textit{B. A. F. Wehrfritz}, Infinite linear groups. An account of the group-theoretic properties of infinite groups of matrices. Springer-Verlag, Berlin (1973; Zbl 0261.20038)]). Of course, if \(G\) is a soluble linear group which is radicable (i.e.~for every \(g\in G\) and every positive integer \(n\), there is an element \(h\in G\) such that \(h^n=g\)), then \(G\) does not admit any subgroup of finite index, so, by the Lie-Kolchin theorem, the group \(G\) is triangularizable. This is essentially the main result of the paper under review.
