<h4>4.1 <span class="Heading">Right Engel elements</span></h4>
<p>An old problem in the context of Engel elements is the question: Is a right <span class="SimpleMath">\(n\)</span>-Engel element left <span class="SimpleMath">\(n\)</span>-Engel? It is known that the answer is no. For details about the history of the problem, see <a href="chapBib_mj.html#biBNewmanNickel94">[NN94]</a>. In this paper the authors show that for <span class="SimpleMath">\(n>4\)</span> there are nilpotent groups with right <span class="SimpleMath">\(n\)</span>-Engel elements no power of which is a left <span class="SimpleMath">\(n\)</span>-Engel element. The insight was based on computations with the ANU NQ which we reproduce here. We also show the cases <span class="SimpleMath">\(5>n\)</span>.</p>

<p>This shows that each right 2-Engel element in a finitely generated nilpotent group is a left 2-Engel element. Note that the group above is the largest nilpotent group generated by two elements, one of which is right 2-Engel. Every nilpotent group generated by an arbitrary element and a right 2-Engel element is a homomorphic image of the group <span class="SimpleMath">\(H\)</span>.</p>

<p>The previous calculation shows that in a nilpotent group without <span class="SimpleMath">\(2,3,5\)</span>-torsion a right 4-Engel element is left 4-Engel.</p>

<p>Finally, we see that in a torsion-free group a right 5-Engel element need not be a left 5-Engel element.</p>
