Exponents of Bogomolov multipliers

Abstract

We prove that if $G$ is a finite group, then the exponent of its Bogomolov multiplier divides the exponent of $G$ in the following four cases: (i) $G$ is metabelian, (ii) $\exp G=4$, (iii) $G$ is nilpotent of class $\le 5$, or (iv) $G$ is a $4$-Engel group.
