Dear Joy,

you can use the fact that G is 2-Engel if all normal closures of elements are abelian. It suffices to check this on representatives of conjugacy classes:

ForAll(ConjugacyClasses(G), c -> IsAbelian(NormalClosure(G, Subgroup(G, [Representative(c)]))));

Dear forum,


How do I check if a group G is 2-Engel?
