Nilpotent groups and 2-generated subgroups

141 Views Asked by At

Do you know an example of a $2$-locally nipotent group $G$ which is not locally nilpotent?

$2$-locally nilpotent: every subgroup which is generated by $2$ elements is nilpotent.

locally nilpotent: every finitely generated subgroup is nilpotent.

The groups referred to in YCor's answer to this question are infinite $d$-generator $p$-groups in which every $(d-1)$-generator subgroup is finite, and hence nilpotent since it is a $p$-group. So they provide examples, although it might be hard to find out much about them.
