Abstract

Let GG and HH be groups that act compatibly on each other. We denote by η(G,H)\eta(G,H) a certain extension of the non-abelian tensor product GHG \otimes H by G×HG \times H. Suppose that GG is residually finite and the subgroup [G,H]=g1gh gG,hH[G,H] = \langle g^{-1}g^h \ \mid g \in G, h\in H\rangle satisfies some non-trivial identity f 1f \equiv~1. We prove that if pp is a prime and every tensor has pp-power order, then the non-abelian tensor product GHG \otimes H is locally finite. Further, we show that if nn is a positive integer and every tensor is left nn-Engel in η(G,H)\eta(G,H), then the non-abelian tensor product GHG \otimes H is locally nilpotent. The content of this paper extend some results concerning the non-abelian tensor square GGG \otimes G.
