Extract

Let G be a group, and let φ (x1, …, xn) be any word in the variables x1, …, xn. We denote by φ(G) and φ*(G) respectively the corresponding verbal and marginal subgroups of G, which are defined as follows.

(i) φ(G)is the subgroup generated by all elements of the form φ(a1; …, an) with ai in G(for i = 1, 2, …, n);

(ii) an element b of G lies in φ*(G) if and only if

for all choices of a1, …, an in G and i= 1, 2, …,n.
