A Note on The Local Nilpotence of 4-Engel Groups
نویسنده
چکیده
Recently Havas and Vaughan-Lee proved that 4-Engel groups are locally nilpotent. Their proof relies on the fact that a certain 4-Engel group T is nilpotent and this they prove using a computer and the Knuth-Bendix algorithm. In this paper we give a short hand-proof of the nilpotency of T .

Results on Engel Fuzzy Subgroups
In the classical group theory there is an open question: Is every torsion free n-Engel group (for n ≥ 4), nilpotent?. To answer the question, Traustason [11] showed that with some additional conditions all 4-Engel groups are locally nilpotent. Here, we gave some partial answer to this question on Engel fuzzy subgroups. We show that if μ is a normal 4-Engel fuzzy subgroup of ...
متن کاملun 2 00 4 Notes on Engel groups and Engel elements in groups . Some generalizations
Engel groups and Engel elements became popular in 50s. We consider in the paper the more general nil-groups and nil-elements in groups. All these notions are related to nilpotent groups and nilpo-tent radicals in groups. These notions generate problems which are parallel to Burnside problems for periodic groups. The first three theorems of the paper are devoted to nil-groups and Engel groups, w...

متن کاملOn Some of the Residual Properties of Finitely Generated Nilpotent Groups
In recent years, the RFRS condition has been used to analyze virtual fibering in 3-manifold topology. Agol’s work shows that any 3-manifold with zero Euler characteristic satisfying the RFRS condition on its fundamental group virtually fibers over the circle. In this note we will show that a finitely generated nilpotent group is either virtually abelian or is not virtually RFRS. As a corollary,...
متن کاملGroup rings satisfying generalized Engel conditions
Let R be a commutative ring with unity of characteristic r≥0 and G be a locally finite group. For each x and y in the group ring RG define [x,y]=xy-yx and inductively via [x ,_( n+1) y]=[[x ,_( n) y] , y]. In this paper we show that necessary and sufficient conditions for RG to satisfies [x^m(x,y) ,_( n(x,y)) y]=0 is: 1) if r is a power of a prime p, then G is a locally nilpotent group an...
