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...

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...

Let G be the first Grigorchuk group. We show that the commutator width of G is 2: every element g ∈ [G, G] is a product of two commutators, and also of six conjugates of a. Furthermore, we show that every finitely generated subgroup H ≤ G has finite commutator width, which however can be arbitrarily large, and that G contains a subgroup of infinite commutator width. The proofs were assisted by ...

It has been shown that there is a Hamilton cycle in every connected Cayley graph on any group G whose commutator subgroup is cyclic of prime-power order. This note considers connected, vertex-transitive graphs X of order at least 3, such that the automorphism group of X contains a vertex-transitive subgroup G whose commutator subgroup is cyclic of prime-power order. We show that of these graphs...
