Oct 26, 2011 at 13:34 comment added Qfwfq @qkqh: I suppose $D_{\infty}$ is the infinite dihedral group $\mathbb{Z}\rtimes\mathbb{Z}/2$.
Oct 26, 2011 at 13:19 comment added qkqh Sorry for you to confuse. Derek Holt is right. And what is $D_\infty$?

Oct 26, 2011 at 11:51 comment added HJRW As $D_\infty$ is metabelian but not nilpotent, it follows that $F_m$ is not contained in $[F_k,F_k]$ for any $k$.
Oct 26, 2011 at 11:50 comment added Derek Holt Presumably the lower central series
Oct 26, 2011 at 10:21 comment added Steve D Can you say what $G_k$ etc. means?
