The commutator subgroup G' of a group G is the subgroup generated by the set {x–1y–1xy | x, y G}. (That is, every element of G' has the form a1 i1a2 i2ak ik, where each aj has the form x–1y–1xy, each ij = ±1, and k is any positive integer.) Prove that G' is a characteristic subgroup of G. (This subgroup was first introduced by G. A. Miller in 1898.)
