| ### Function IsNilpotent ( grp^abl G ) -> elt-alg^boo ### Description Return `TRUE' iff `G' is nilpotent, i.e. if the lower central series terminates finitely and `[G^(i-1),G] =: G^i = {e}'. Abelian groups are apparently nilpotent. ### Examples x_A := AbelianGroup([2,3,5]); IsNilpotent(x_A); x_F := FreeAbelianGroup(2); IsNilpotent(x_F);
