Derived series, central series, and generalizations for groups (20F14)

Abstract: Let $gamm{a}_i(G)$ and $Z_i(G)$ denote the $i$-th terms of the lower and upper central series of a group $G$, respectively. P. Hall showed that if $gamm{a}_{i+1}(G)$ is finite then the index $|G:Z_{2i}(G)|$ is finite. We prove that the same result holds under the weaker hypothesis that $|gamm{a}_{i+1}(G):gamm{a}_{i+1}(G)cap{Z}_i(G)|$ is finite.
