a result of dixon‎, ‎evans and smith shows that if $g$ is a locally (soluble-by-finite) group whose proper subgroups are (finite rank)-by-abelian‎, ‎then $g$ itself has this property‎, ‎i.e‎. ‎the commutator subgroup of $g$ has finite rank‎. ‎it is proved here that if $g$ is a locally (soluble-by-finite) group whose proper subgroups have minimax commutator subgroup‎, ‎then also the commutator s...

We introduce a new notion of commutator which depends on a choice of subvariety in any variety of Ω-groups. We prove that this notion encompasses Higgins’s commutator, Fröhlich’s central extensions and the Peiffer commutator of precrossed modules.

We investigate commutator operations on compatible uniformities. We present a commutator operation for uniformities in the congruence-modular case which extends the commutator on congruences, and explore its properties. Introduction The purpose of this paper is to generalize the commutator of congruences to a commutator of compatible uniformities. Commutator theory (on congruences) works best f...

We develop the theories of the strong commutator, the rectangular commutator, the strong rectangular commutator, as well as a solvability theory for the nonmodular TC commutator. These theories are used to show that each of the following sets of statements are equivalent for a variety V of algebras. (I) (a) V satisfies a nontrivial congruence identity. (b) V satisfies an idempotent Maltsev cond...

In this paper, we verify the solvability of free product of finite cyclic groups with topological methods. We use Cayley graphs and Everitt methods to construct suitable 2-complexes corresponding to the presentations of groups and their commutator subgroups. In particular, using these methods, we prove that the commutator subgroup of $mathbb{Z}_{m}*mathbb{Z}_{n}$ is free of rank $(m-1)(n-1)$ fo...
