Abstract

We prove that a stable solvable group G which satisfies xn = 1 generically is of finite exponent dividing some power of n. Furthermore, G is nilpotent-by-finile.

A second result is that in a stable group of finite exponent, involutions either have big centralisers, or invert a subgroup of finite index (which hence has to be abelian).
