Abstract

We prove that the nilpotent product of a set of groups A1,,AsA_{1},\dots, A_{s} has finite palindromic width if and only if the palindromic widths of Ai,i=1,,s,A_{i}, i=1,\dots, s, are finite. We give a new proof that the commutator width of FnKF_n \wr K is infinite, where FnF_n is a free group of rank n2n \geq 2 and KK a finite group. This result, combining with a result of Fink \cite{f1} gives examples of groups with infinite commutator width but finite palindromic width with respect to some generating set.
