Abstract
A right Engel sink of an element of a group is a subset containing all sufficiently long commutators . We prove that if is a compact group in which, for some , every commutator has a finite right Engel sink, then has a locally nilpotent open subgroup. If in addition, for some positive integer , every commutator has a right Engel sink of cardinality at most , then has a locally nilpotent subgroup of finite index bounded in terms of only.
