Abstract

We state and prove two sharp results on the structure of normal subgroups consisting of right 3-Engel elements. First we prove that if H is a 3-torsion-free such subgroup of a group G and x ∈ G, then [H, 4〈 x 〉 G] = {1}. When H is additionally {2, 5}-torsion-free, we prove that [H, 8G] = {1}.
