$p$-nilpotency criteria for some verbal subgroups

Group Theory 2025-11-03 v1

Abstract

Let GG be a finite group, let pp be a prime and let ww be a group-word. We say that GG satisfies P(w,p)P(w,p) if the prime pp divides the order of xyxy for every ww-value xx in GG of pp'-order and for every non-trivial ww-value yy in GG of order divisible by pp. If k2k \geq 2, we prove that the kkth term of the lower central series of GG is pp-nilpotent if and only if GG satisfies P(γk,p)P(\gamma_k,p). In addition, if GG is soluble, we show that the kkth term of the derived series of GG is pp-nilpotent if and only if GG satisfies P(δk,p)P(\delta_k,p).
