Separability of the subgroups of residually nilpotent groups in the class of finite π-groups

详细

Given a nonempty set π of primes, call a nilpotent group π-bounded whenever it has a central series whose every factor F is such that: In every quotient group of F all primary components of the torsion subgroup corresponding to the numbers in π are finite. We establish that if G is a residually π-bounded torsion-free nilpotent group, while a subgroup H of G has finite Hirsh–Zaitsev rank then H is π’-isolated in G if and only if H is separable in G in the class of all finite nilpotent π-groups. By way of example, we apply the results to study the root-class residuality of the free product of two groups with amalgamation.
