Statement
Suppose is a group and is the Centralizer of commutator subgroup (?) of . Then, is a Group of nilpotency class two (?). In other words, is either an abelian group or a non-abelian group of class two. In particular, is a Class two normal subgroup (?) and a Class two characteristic subgroup (?).

Proof
Given: A group . .
To prove: is a group of class (at most) two.
Proof: Since centralizes , and , centralizes . Thus, is contained in the center of . Thus, has class at most two.
