Abstract

Let n be a positive integer. We say that a group G is an (n+1/2)-Engel group if it satisfies the law [x,yn,x]=1. The variety of (n+1/2)-Engel groups lies between the varieties of n-Engel groups and (n+1)-Engel groups. In this paper, we study these groups, and in particular, we prove that all (4+1/2)-Engel {2,3}-groups are locally nilpotent. We also show that if G is a (4+1/2)-Engel p-group, where p≥5is a prime, then G^p is locally nilpotent.
