abstract

We offer in this note a self-contained proof of the fact that a finitely generated group is not virtually nilpotent if and only if it has a quotient with the infinite conjugacy class (ICC) propoerty. This proof is a modern presentation of the original proof, by McLain (1956) and Duguid and McLain (1956).

First-order formulae are concise in acylindrically hyperbolic groups and other classes including Burnside, ICC, and torus knot groups, with results on finiteness of definable sets.
