AbstractNilpotent semigroups in the sense of Mal’cev are defined by semigroup identities. Finite nilpotent semigroups constitute a pseudovariety, MN, which has finite rank. The semigroup identities that define nilpotent semigroups lead us to define strongly Mal’cev nilpotent semigroups. Finite strongly Mal’cev nilpotent semigroups constitute a non-finite rank pseudovariety, SMN. The pseudovariety SMN is strictly contained in the pseudovariety MN, but all finite nilpotent groups are in SMN. We show that the pseudovariety MN is the intersection of the pseudovariety BGnil with a pseudovariety defined by a κ-identity. We further compare the pseudovarieties MN and SMN with the Mal’cev product 𝖩ⓜ𝖦nill.

AbstractWhilst the Mal'cev product of completely regular varieties need not again be a variety, it is shown that in many important instances a variety is in fact obtained. However, unlike the product of group varieties this product is nonassociative.Two important operators introduced by Reilly are studied in the context of Mal'cev products. These operators are shown to generate from any given variety one of the networks discovered by Pastijn and Trotter, enabling identities to be provided for the varieties in the network. In particular the join O V BG of the varieties of orthogroups and of bands of groups is determined, answering a question of Petrich.

Let W denote the intersection with the pseudovariety of completely regular semigroups of the Mal'cev product of the pseudovariety of bands with a pseudovariety V of completely regular semigroups. It is shown that the (pseudo)word problem for W is reduced to that for V in such a way that decidability is preserved in the case in which terms involving only multiplication and weak inversion are considered. It is also shown that, if V is a hyperdecidable (respectively canonically reducible) pseudovariety of groups, then so is W.

For fixed m, n ≥ 2, we examine the structure of the nth lower central subgroup γn(F) of the free group F of rank m with respect to a certain finite chain F = F(0) > F(1) > ⋯ > F(l-1) > F(l) = {1} of free groups in which F(k) is of finite rank m(k) and is contained in the kth derived subgroup δk(F) of F. The derived subgroups δk(F/γn(F)) of the free nilpotent group F/γn(F) are isomorphic to the quotients F(k)/(F(k) ∩ γn(F)) and admit presentations of the form 〈xk,1,…,xk,m(k): γ(n)(F(k))〉, where γ(n)(F(k)), contained in γn(F), is a certain partial lower central subgroup of F(k). We give a complete description of γn(F) as a staggered product Π1 ≤ k ≤ l-1(γ〈n〉(F(k))*γ[n](F(k)))F(k+1), where γ〈n〉(F(k)) is a free factor of the derived subgroup [F(k),F(k)] of F(k) having countable infinite rank and generated by a certain set of reduced commutators of weight at least n, and γ[n](F(k)) is the subgroup generated by a certain finite set of products of non-reduced ordered commutators of weight at least n. There are some far-reaching consequences.

AbstractA group G is said to have the FINITE INDEX property (G is an FI-group) if, whenever H≤G, xp ∈ H for some x in G and p > 0, then |〈H, x〉: H| is finite. Following a brief discussion of some locally nilpotent groups with this property, it is shown that torsion-free solvable groups of finite rank which have the isolator property are FI-groups. It is deduced from this that a finitely generated torsion-free solvable group has an FI-subgroup of finite index if and only if it has finite rank.
