Profinite groups with soluble centralisers

Group Theory 2024-06-03 v1

Abstract

We show that a profinite group, in which the centralisers of non-trivial elements are metabelian, is either virtually pro-pp or virtually soluble of derived length at most 4. We furthermore show that a prosoluble group, in which the centralisers of non-trivial elements are soluble of bounded derived length, is either soluble or virtually pro-pp.
