Abstract:
For groups of the form F/N′, we find necessary and sufficient conditions for an element g∈N/N′ to belong to the normal closure of an element h∈F/N′. It is proved that, in contrast to the case of a free metabelian group, for a free group of the variety AN2, there exists an element h whose normal closure contains a primitive element g, but the elements h and g±1 are not conjugate. In the group F(AN2), two nonconjugate elements are chosen that have equal normal closures.
