On verbal subgroups in finite and profinite groups

Let w be a multilinear commutator word. In the present paper we describe recent results that show that if G is a profinite group in which all w-values are contained in a union of finitely (or in some cases countably) many subgroups with a prescribed property, then the verbal subgroup w(G) has the sa...

Description
Summary:Let w be a multilinear commutator word. In the present paper we describe recent results that show that if G is a profinite group in which all w-values are contained in a union of finitely (or in some cases countably) many subgroups with a prescribed property, then the verbal subgroup w(G) has the same property as well. In particular, we show this in the case where the subgroups are periodic or of finite rank.
