Let $G$ be a finite group, and $c$ an element of $mathbb{Z}cup {infty}$. A subgroup $H$ of $G$ is said to be {it $c$-nilpotent} if it is nilpotent, and has nilpotency class at most $c$. A subset $X$ of $G$ is said to be {it non-$c$-nilpotent} if it contains no two elements $x$ and $y$ such that the subgroup $ $ is $c$-nilpotent. In this paper we study the quantity $omega_c(G)$, defined to be the size of the largest non-$c$-nilpotent subset of $L$.
In the case that $L$ is a finite group of Lie type, we identify covers of $L$ by $c$-nilpotent subgroups, and we use these covers to construct large non-$c$-nilpotent sets in $L$. We prove that for groups $L$ of fixed rank $r$, there exist constants $D_r$ and $E_r$ such that $D_r N leq omega_infty(L) leq E_r N$, where $N$ is the number of maximal tori in $L$.
In the case of groups $L$ with twisted rank 1, we provide exact formulae for $omega_c(L)$ for all $cinmathbb{Z}cup {infty}$. If we write $q$ for the level of the Frobenius endomorphism associated with $L$ and assume that $q>5$, then $omega_infty(G)$ may be expressed as a polynomial in $q$ with coefficients in ${0,1}$.
