Abstract

Let $G$ be a finite group. We show that the order of the subgroup generated by coprime ${\gamma }_{k} $-commutators (respectively, ${\delta }_{k} $-commutators) is bounded in terms of the size of the set of coprime ${\gamma }_{k} $-commutators (respectively, ${\delta }_{k} $-commutators). This is in parallel with the classical theorem due to Turner-Smith that the words ${\gamma }_{k} $ and ${\delta }_{k} $ are concise.
