Definition

Symbol-free definition

A group is termed a Levi group or a 2-Engel group if it satisfies the following equivalent conditions:

  1. Any two conjugate elements of the group commute.
  2. The normal closure of any cyclic subgroup is Abelian.
  3. The group is a 2-Engel group: the commutator between any element and its commutator with another element is the identity element.

Definition with symbols

A group G is termed a Levi-group or a 2-Engel group if it satisfies the following equivalent conditions:

  1. x commutes with gxg1 for all x,gG.
  2. The normal subgroup generated by x is Abelian for all xG.
  3. The commutator [x,[x,g]] is the identity element for all x,gG.

Formalisms

In terms of the Levi operator

This property is obtained by applying the Levi operator to the property: Abelian group
