Finite normal subgroups of strongly verbally closed groups

Group Theory 2024-02-16 v2

Abstract

In the recent paper by A. A. Klyachko, V. Yu. Miroshnichenko, and A. Yu. Olshanskii, it is proven that the center of any finite strongly verbally closed group is its direct factor. One of the results of the current paper is the generalization of this nontrivial fact to the case of finite normal subgroups of any strongly verbally closed groups. It follows from this generalization that finitely generated nilpotent groups with nonabelian torsion subgroups are not strongly verbally closed.
