Groups covered by finitely many nilpotent subgroups

Abstract: Let G be a finitely generated soluble group. Lennox and Wiegold have proved that G has a finite covering by nilpotent subgroups if and only if any infinite set of elements of G contains a pair {x, y} such that (z, y) is nilpotent. The main theorem of this paper is an improvement of the previous result: we show that G has a finite covering by nilpotent subgroups if and only if any infinite set of elements of G contains a pair {xj y} such that [a!, n j/] -1 for some integer n = n(x, y) ^ 0.

“…The extension of the questions of Paul Erdos, firstly, is considered by Lennox and Wiegold [15]. Further questions of a similar nature, with different aspects, have been considered by many people (see for example [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,15,16,17,23,24,20,25,26,27]).…”
