Abstract: The second author introduced notions of weak permutability and commutativity between groups and proved the finiteness of a group generated by two weakly permutable finite groups. Two groups H,K weakly commute provided there exists a bijection f: H -> K which fixes the identity element and such that h commutes with its image h^f for all h in H. The present paper gives support to conjectures about the nilpotency of groups generated by two weakly commuting finite abelian groups H,K.

Review text

In the paper under review, two subgroups \(H\) and \(K\) with the same order of a group are called weakly commuting provided there exists a bijection \(f\colon H\to K\) such that \(1^f=1\) and \(h^fh=hh^f\) for all \(h\in H\). The following conjecture is stated. Conjecture. Every group generated by two finite nilpotent weakly commuting subgroups is nilpotent. The authors prove some results to support this conjecture for groups generated by two finite Abelian weakly commuting subgroups. For instance, Theorem 3. Let \(G\) be a group generated by two finite Abelian weakly commuting subgroups of the same order \(n\). Then the metabelian quotient group \(G/G\) is nilpotent of class at most \(n\).
