Strong conciseness and equationally Noetherian groups

A word w is said to be concise in a class of groups if, for every G in that class such that the set of w-values w{G} is finite, the verbal subgroup w(G) is also finite. In the context of profinite groups, the notion of strong conciseness imposes a more demanding condition on w, requiring that w(G) i...

Sumario:A word w is said to be concise in a class of groups if, for every G in that class such that the set of w-values w{G} is finite, the verbal subgroup w(G) is also finite. In the context of profinite groups, the notion of strong conciseness imposes a more demanding condition on w, requiring that w(G) is finite whenever |w{G}| < 2ℵ0 . We investigate the relation between these two properties and the notion of equationally Noetherian groups, by proving that in a profinite group G with a dense equationally Noetherian subgroup, w{G} is finite whenever |w{G}| < 2ℵ0 . Consequently, we conclude that every word is strongly concise in the classes of profinite linear groups, pro-C completions of residually C linear groups and pro-C completions of virtually abelian-by-polycyclic groups, thereby extending wellknown conciseness properties of these classes of groups.
