Existentially bound-word not implies verbal

From Groupprops

This article gives the statement and possibly, proof, of a non-implication relation between two subgroup properties. That is, it states that every subgroup satisfying the first subgroup property (i.e., existentially bound-word subgroup) need not satisfy the second subgroup property (i.e., verbal subgroup)

Statement

It is possible to have a group and an existentially bound-word subgroup of that is not a verbal subgroup of .

Facts used

  1. verbal subgroup equals power subgroup in abelian group

Proof

Let be the direct product of cyclic group of prime-square order and cyclic group of prime order for a prime , and let be the subgroup of elements of order dividing . Then, is an existentially bound-word subgroup of , in the sense that it is the set of solutions to a system of equations, but it is not a verbal subgroup of , something we can see, for instance, from fact (1).

For instance, could be the direct product of Z4 and Z2 or the direct product of Z9 and Z3.
