Yes. By the Neumann-Neumann proof of the Higman-Neumann-Neumannembedding theorem, a finite p-group G can be embedded in a finite2-generator group H, such that H is a subgroup of a repea wreathproduct GwrCwrD, with C and D cyclic. Then the 2nd derived subgroup H''of H has exponent p. If p ge 5, we may choose G to have arbitrarilylarge derived length. Let F be a free group of rank 2, and let N be theintersection of all normal subgroups K of F such that F/K is finite andhas 2nd derived subgroup of exponent p. By the above, F/N is infinite,2-genera, and insoluble, but each finite factor group of F/N issoluble, therefore F/N is not virtually soluble.Avinoam Mann=== === Subject: : The analytic domain in the implicit function theoremOriginator: bergv@math.uiuc.edu (Maarten Bergvelt)Greetings!I'm looking for references about the ``size'' of theanalytic domain in the implicit function theorem, that is,if F(x, y) = c defines implicitly y = f(x) in a neighborhood Bof x0 (with F(x0, y0) = c and y0 = f(x0)), which is the sizeof B?I've found only two references:CHANG, H.
