The word $w$ is concise if $w(G)$ is finite for all groups $G$ in which $G_w$ is finite. We obtain several results supporting the conjecture that the word $[u_1,\\dots,u_s]$ is concise whenever the words $u_1,\\dots,u_s$ are non-commutator.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-09-21T18:24:30.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "verbal subgroup", "finiteness", "group-word" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
