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 …

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) …
