Abstract

Let GG be a finite group and let k2k \geq 2. We prove that the coprime subgroup γk(G)\gamma_k^*(G) is nilpotent if and only if xy=xy|xy|=|x||y| for any γk\gamma_k^*-commutators x,yGx,y \in G of coprime orders (Theorem A). Moreover, we show that the coprime subgroup δk(G)\delta_k^*(G) is nilpotent if and only if ab=ab|ab|=|a||b| for any powers of δk\delta_k^*-commutators a,bGa,b\in G of coprime orders (Theorem B).
