Dec 4, 2015 at 9:37 comment added user83632 Let $Z=\gamma_s(G)\cap Z(G)$. Why if $\gamma_s(G)/Z$ is finite then there exists a finitely generated subgroup $U$ of $G$ such that $\gamma_s(G)=\gamma_s(U)Z$?
Jul 12, 2011 at 19:21 comment added Ian Agol The class of slender groups is closed under taking subgroups, quotients, and finite products. If it were closed under taking direct products, then it would form a variety, but this is not the case. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variety_(universal_algebra) It's also closed under taking extensions. This is very closely related to an extension closed variety of finite groups, but I'm not sure what's been considered in the infinite group case.

Jul 12, 2011 at 9:15 comment added HJRW This question is absurdly broad. As it clearly has no single answer, it should certainly be community wiki.
