AbstractA group G has restricted centralizers if for each g in G the centralizer $C_G(g)$ either is finite or has finite index in G. A theorem of Shalev states that a profinite group with restricted centralizers is abelian-by-finite. In the present paper we handle profinite groups with restricted centralizers of word-values. We show that if w is a multilinear commutator word and G a profinite group with restricted centralizers of w-values, then the verbal subgroup w(G) is abelian-by-finite.

It is proved that if $G$ is a profinite group in which all pronilpotent subgroups generated by $w$-values are periodic, then the verbal subgroup $w(G)$ is locally finite.

Let m, n be positive integers, v a multilinear commutator word and w = vm. We prove that if G is a residually finite group in which all w-values are n-Engel, then the verbal subgroup w(G) is locally nilpotent. We also examine the question whether this is true in the case where G is locally graded rather than residually finite. We answer the question affirmatively in the case where m = 1. Moreover, we show that if u is a non-commutator word and G is a locally graded group in which all u-values are n-Engel, then the verbal subgroup u(G) is locally nilpotent.

AbstractLet $w$ be a multilinear commutator word. We prove that if $e$ is a positive integer and $G$ is a finite group in which any nilpotent subgroup generated by $w$-values has exponent dividing $e$, then the exponent of the corresponding verbal subgroup $w(G)$ is bounded in terms of $e$ and $w$only.

Abstract We show that if w is a multilinear commutator word and G a finite group in which every metanilpotent subgroup generated by w-values is of rank at most r, then the rank of the verbal subgroup $w(G)$ is bounded in terms of r and w only. In the case where G is soluble, we obtain a better result: if G is a finite soluble group in which every nilpotent subgroup generated by w-values is of rank at most r, then the rank of $w(G)$ is at most $r+1$ .

Abstract Let {m,n} be positive integers and w a multilinear commutator word. Assume that G is a finite group having subgroups {G_{1},\ldots,G_{m}} whose union contains all w-values in G. Assume further that all elements of the subgroups {G_{1},\ldots,G_{m}} are n-Engel in G. It is shown that the verbal subgroup {w(G)} is s-Engel for some {\{m,n,w\}} -bounded number s.

A Finite Group

Let [Formula: see text] be an element of a group [Formula: see text]. For a positive integer [Formula: see text], let [Formula: see text] be the subgroup generated by all commutators [Formula: see text] over [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is repeated [Formula: see text] times. We prove that if [Formula: see text] is a profinite group such that for every [Formula: see text] there is [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] is finite, then [Formula: see text] has a finite normal subgroup [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] is locally nilpotent. The proof uses the Wilson–Zelmanov theorem saying that Engel profinite groups are locally nilpotent. In the case of a finite group [Formula: see text], we prove that if, for some [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] for all [Formula: see text], then the order of the nilpotent residual [Formula: see text] is bounded in terms of [Formula: see text].

Let G be a profinite group. We define an extension (E, J) of G by a group A to consist of an exact sequence of groups together with a section j : G → E of K satisfying: for some open normal subgroup Sof G, and the map is continuous (A being discrete).

Abstract We show that given a finitely generated LERF group G with positive rank gradient, and finitely generated subgroups A, B ≤ G of infinite index, one can find a finite index subgroup B0 of B such that [G : 〈A ∪ B0〉] = ∞. This generalizes a theorem of Olshanskii on free groups. We conclude that a finite product of finitely generated subgroups of infinite index does not cover G. We construct a transitive virtually faithful action of G such that the orbits of finitely generated subgroups of infinite index are finite. Some of the results extend to profinite groups with positive rank gradient.

Group Of Automorphisms

AbstractThe main result of this paper is the following theorem. Let q be a prime and A be an elementary abelian group of order q3. Suppose that A acts as a coprime group of automorphisms on a profinite group G in such a manner that CG(a)′ is periodic for each a ∈ A#. Then G′ is locally finite.
