Abstract

Let GG be a profinite group in which for every element xGx\in G there exists a natural number q=q(x)q=q(x) such that xqx^q is Engel. We show that GG is locally virtually nilpotent. Further, let pp be a prime and GG a finitely generated profinite group in which for every γk\gamma_k-value xGx\in G there exists a natural pp-power q=q(x)q=q(x) such that xqx^q is Engel. We show that γk(G)\gamma_k(G) is locally virtually nilpotent.
