A different approach to proving a property of finite solvable groups

Edit: I'd be happy to hear any vague thoughts you might have, however far they may be from a complete solution! I asked this on math.stackexchange a couple of days ago, but it didn't attract any ...

Element that is in $\phi^{-1}(Z(F (G/F(G)))$

I'm studying an article but I'm not able to understand one of his statements. I have the following hypotheses: $G$ is a solvable group with trivial center, $J=\phi^{-1}(F(G/F(G)))$ and $J_2=\phi^{-1}(...

Centre of solvable locally nilpotent groups

This question is motivated by two examples of locally nilpotent groups which I came across (see below). Question: Given an infinite solvable and locally nilpotent group $G$, does $G$ have an infinite ...

Finite solvable groups are generated by a nilpotent subgroup + K elements?

Is there a constant $K \in \mathbb{N}$ such that for every finite solvable group $G$, there exists a nilpotent subgroup $N \leq G$, and a subset $S \subseteq G$ with $|S| \leq K$, and $\langle N,S\...
