Review text

The paper is in the spirit of a sequence of papers that deal with properties of groups in which every infinite subset of elements contains a pair of elements that generates a subgroup of some prescribed kind. The author proves the theorem that if \(G\) is a finitely generated residually finite group, then every pair of elements of \(G\) generates a nilpotent subgroup of class [at most] 2 if, and only if, \(G\) modulo its second centre is finite. The proof relies on a lemma [Lemma 3], which says that if \(G\) is an infinite residually finite group [not necessarily finitely generated] and if every pair of elements generates a nilpotent subgroup of class [at most] 2, then the centraliser of every finite subset of elements is infinite.
