In the case where $G$ is soluble we obtain a better result -- if $G$ is a finite soluble group in which every nilpotent subgroup generated by $w$-values is of rank at most $r$, then the rank of $w(G)$ is at most $r+1$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-03-06T11:33:31.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20D20", "20F12" ], "keywords": [ "verbal subgroup", "finite group", "multilinear commutator word", "better result", "finite soluble group" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
