Wilson's conjecture for omega-categorical locally nilpotent p-groups

About 2 years old · traced to

A group is locally nilpotent if every finitely generated subgroup is nilpotent. A group is omega-categorical if its first-order theory has a unique countable model up to isomorphism, and a pp-group is a group in which every element has order a power of the prime pp.

Wilson's conjecture. Every locally nilpotent omega-categorical pp-group is nilpotent.

Wilson's conjecture is a foundational problem concerning the interaction between model-theoretic symmetry and local-to-global nilpotency. The present paper proves a Lie-algebra analogue in the 33-Engel characteristic-55 setting, but the group-theoretic conjecture stated here is not resolved in the supplied source.
