Abstract: The following question is proposed in [4, Question 1.20]: Let $G$ be a compact group, and suppose that ${\displaystyle }$mathcal{N}_k(G) = {(x1,dots,x_{k+1}) in G^{k+1} ;|; [x_1,dots, x_{k+1}] = 1}${\displaystyle }$ has positive Haar measure in $G^{k+1}$. Does $G$ have an open $k$-step nilpotent subgroup? The case $k=1$ is already known. We positively answer it for $k=2$.
