Abstract

The following problem is proposed as Problem 18.57 in [The Kourovka Notebook, No. 18, 2014] by D. V. Lytkina: Let GG be a finite 22-group generated by involutions in which [x,u,u]=1[x, u, u] = 1 for every xGx \in G and every involution uGu \in G. Is the derived length of GG bounded? The question is asked of an upper bound on the solvability length of finite 22-groups generated by involutions in which every involution (not only the generators) is also left 22-Engel. We negatively answer the question.
