Almost Engel linear groups

Almost Engel finite and profinite groups

Computing with 4-engel Groups

We have proved that 4-Engel groups are locally nilpotent. The proof is based upon detailed computations by both hand and machine. Here we elaborate on explicit computer calculations which provided some of the motivation behind the proof. In particular we give details on the hardest coset enumerations now required to show in a direct proof that 4-Engel p-groups are locally finite for 5 ≤ p ≤ 31....

Robert Fitzgerald Morse: Solvable Engel Groups 1 Solvable Engel Groups with Nilpotent Normal Closures

In this paper we investigate certain solvable (n+1)-Engel groups and bounded left Engel groups. We show that these (n + 1)-Engel groups can be characterized as those groups in which the normal closure of each element in the group is nilpotent of class at most n. Similarly, the bounded left Engel groups investigated can be characterized as those groups in which the normal closure of each element...

un 2 00 4 Notes on Engel groups and Engel elements in groups . Some generalizations

Engel groups and Engel elements became popular in 50s. We consider in the paper the more general nil-groups and nil-elements in groups. All these notions are related to nilpotent groups and nilpo-tent radicals in groups. These notions generate problems which are parallel to Burnside problems for periodic groups. The first three theorems of the paper are devoted to nil-groups and Engel groups, w...

Almost simple groups with Socle $G_2(q)$ acting on finite linear spaces

 After the classification of the flag-transitive linear spaces, the attention has been turned to line-transitive linear spaces. In this article, we present a partial classification of the finite linear spaces $mathcal S$ on which an almost simple group $G$ with the socle $G_2(q)$ acts line-transitively.
