Commutator map-equivalence of groups

From Groupprops

Definition

Suppose and are groups. A commutator map-equivalence of and is a bijection such that for any , we have:

Note that it does not matter essentially for this definition whether we use the left or right convention for commutators, as long as we are consistent on both sides.

If there exists a commutator map-equivalence between two groups and , we say that and are commutator map-equivalent groups.

Facts

A commutator map-equivalence sends the identity element to the identity element. It induces a correspondence between the members of the upper central series of the two groups. In particular, it induces a bijection between the centers of the two groups, and they both have the same nilpotency class, so if one of them is a nilpotent group, so is the other one.
