On finite groups in which commutators are covered by Engel subgroups

Group Theory 2019-01-08 v1

Abstract

Let m,nm,n be positive integers and ww a multilinear commutator word. Assume that GG is a finite group having subgroups G1,,GmG_1,\ldots,G_m whose union contains all ww-values in GG. Assume further that all elements of the subgroups G1,,GmG_1,\ldots,G_m are nn-Engel in GG. It is shown that the verbal subgroup w(G)w(G) is ss-Engel for some {m,n,w}\{m,n,w\}-bounded number ss.
