Why $G/F(G)$ is isomorphic to a subgroup of ${\rm Out}(F(G))$?
For (2), there is a general construction at work here. Given a short exact sequence of groups
$$1 \to K \to G \to Q \to 1$$
there is always a well-defined homomorphism $\varphi: Q\to \mathrm{Out}(K) …

Can a group have a cyclical derived series?
Given any group $G$, one can consider its derived series
$$G = G^{(0)}\rhd G^{(1)}\rhd G^{(2)}\rhd\dots$$
where $G^{(k)}$ is the commutator subgroup of $G^{(k-1)}$. A group is perfect if $G=G^{(1)}$ …

Does a (nice) centerless group always have a centerless profinite completion?
This is an extension of a question I asked here on Math.SE
Assume that I have a finitely generated residually finite centerless group $G$. Is it true that the profinite completion $\hat{G}$ also ha …
