AbstractLet $G$ be a periodic residually finite group containing a nilpotent subgroup $A$ such that $C_G(A)$ is finite. We show that if $\langle A,A^g\rangle$ is finite for any $g\in G$, then $G$ is locally finite.AMS 2000 Mathematics subject classification: Primary 20F50

AbstractThe following theorem is proved. Let m, k and n be positive integers. There exists a number η=η(m,k,n) depending only on m, k and n such that if G is any residually finite group satisfying the condition that the product of any η commutators of the form [xm,y1,…,yk ] is of order dividing n, then the verbal subgroup of G corresponding to the word w=[xm,y1,…,yk ] is locally finite.

We show that the first L2-betti number of a finitely generated residually finite group can be estimated from below by using ordinary first betti numbers of finite index normal subgroups. As an application, we construct a finitely generated infinite residually finite torsion group with positive first L2-betti number.

Residually Finite Groups

The recent constructions, by Rips and Olshanskii, of infinite groups with all proper subgroups of prime order, and similar ‘monsters’, show that even under the imposition of apparently very strong finiteness conditions, the structure of infinite groups can be rather weird. Thus it seems reasonable to impose the type of condition that enables us to apply the theory of finite groups. Two such conditions are local finiteness and residual finiteness, and here we are interested in the latter. Specifically, we consider residually finite groups of finite rank, where a group is said to have rank r, if all finitely generated subgroups of it can be generated by r elements. Recall that a group is said to be virtually of some property, if it has a subgroup of finite index with this property. We prove the following result:Theorem 1. A residually finite group of finite rank is virtually locally soluble.

AbstractIf ε is an endomorphism of a finitely generated residually finite group onto a subgroup Fε of finite index in F, then there exists a positive integer k such that ε is an isomorphism of Fεk. If K is the kernel of ε, then K is a finite group so that if F is a non trivial free product or if F is torsion free, then ε is an isomorphism on F. If ε is an endomorphism of a finitely generated resedually finite group onto a subgroup Fε (not necessatily of ginite index in F) and if the kernel of ε obeys the minimal condition for subgroups then there exists a positive integer k such that ε is an isomorphism on Fεk.

Relatively Free Group

Let F(G) denote the set of isomorphism classes of finite quotients of the group G. We say that groups G and H have isomorphic finite quotients (IFQ) if F(G) = F(H). In this note, we show that a finitely generated residually finite group G cannot have the same finite quotients as a proper homomorphic image (G is IFQ hopfian). We then obtain some results on groups with the same finite quotients as a relatively free group.

Let G be a finite group, p the smallest prime dividing the order of G, and P a Sylow p-subgroup of G with the smallest generator number d. Consider a set [Formula: see text] of maximal subgroups of P such that [Formula: see text]. It is shown that if every member [Formula: see text] of is either S-quasinormally embedded or C-normal in G, then G is p-nilpotent. As its applications, some further results are obtained.

A Finite Group

AbstractLet G be a finite group and let Aut(G) be its automorphism group. Then G is called a k-orbit group if G has k orbits (equivalence classes) under the action of Aut(G). (For g, hG, we have g ~ h if ga = h for some Aut(G).) It is shown that if G is a k-orbit group, then kGp + 1, where p is the least prime dividing the order of G. The 3-orbit groups which are not of prime-power order are classified. It is shown that A5 is the only insoluble 4-orbit group, and a structure theorem is proved about soluble 4-orbit groups.

Locally Graded Groups

AbstractIn a paper published in this journal [1], J. T. Buckely, J. C. Lennox, B. H. Neumann and the authors considered the class of CF-groups, that G such that |H: CoreG (H)| is finite for all subgroups H. It is shown that locally finite CF-groups are abelian-by-finite and BCF, that is, there is an integer n such that |H: CoreG(H)| ≤ n for all subgroups H. The present paper studies these properties in the class of locally graded groups, the main result being that locally graded BCF-groups are abelian-by-finite. Whether locally graded CF-groups are BFC remains an open question. In this direction, the following problems is posed. Does there exist a finitely generated infinite periodic residually finite group in which all subgroups are finite or of finite index? Such groups are locally graded and CF but not BCF.

Let G be a finite group. A subgroup K of a group G is called an [Formula: see text]-subgroup of G if NG(K) ∩ Kx ≤ K for all x ∈ G. The set of all [Formula: see text]-subgroups of G is denoted by [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we investigate the structure of a group G under the assumption that certain abelian subgroups of prime power order belong to [Formula: see text].
