On commutator length and square length of the wreath product of a group by a finitely generated Abelian group. (English) Zbl 1203.20034

Summary: Let \(W=G\wr H\) be the wreath product of \(G\) by an \(n\)-generator Abelian group \(H\). We prove that every element of \(W'\) is a product of at most \(n+2\) commutators, and every element of \(W^2\) is a product of at most \(3n+4\) squares in \(W\). This generalizes our previous result [in Houston J. Math. 27, No. 4, 753-756 (2001; Zbl 1004.20017)].
