About the length of laws for finite groups

Group Theory 2015-09-08 v2

Abstract

We prove new upper bounds for the length of laws that hold for all groups of size at most nn -- improving on previous results of Bou-Rabee and Kassabov-Matucci. The methods make use of the classification of finite simple groups. Stronger bounds are proved in case the groups are assumed to be nilpotent or solvable.
