Jul 15, 2013 at 4:18 comment added Zuriel @NeilHoffman, Yes, $K_n$ is neither Abelian (unless $n=1$) nor the free group. In $K_n$, each generator $x_i$ commutes with all the conjugates of $x_n$. When $n=2$, it is the discrete Heisenberg group.
Jul 10, 2013 at 20:47 comment added Neil Hoffman As stated the rank of the normal closure of $\{ x_n \}$ in $K_n$ could be 1 if $K_n$ is abelian and infinite if $K_n$ is the free group. Do you also mean that $x_i$ only commutes with elements it is conjugate to?
Jul 4, 2013 at 11:16 comment added Zuriel Yes, they are exactly the same.
Jul 4, 2013 at 8:58 comment added Nick Gill Is conjugate closure the same as normal closure?
