Abstract
In this note we present some results on relationships between certain verbal subgroups of metabelian groups. To state these results explicitly we need some notation. As usual further [x, 0y] = x and [x, ky] = [x, (k—1)y, y] for all positive integers k. The s-th term γs(G) of the lower central series of a group G is the subgroup of G generated by [a1, … as] for all a1, … as, in G. A group G is metabelian if [[a11, a2], [a3, a4]] = e (the identity element) for all a1, a2, a3, a4, in G, and has exponent k if ak = e for all a in G.Keywords
