Abstract Let G be a locally finite group and let {F(G)} be the Hirsch–Plotkin radical of G. Let S denote the full inverse image of the generalized Fitting subgroup of {G/F(G)} in G. Assume that there is a number k such that the length of every nested chain of centralizers in G does not exceed k. The Borovik–Khukhro conjecture states, in particular, that under this assumption, the quotient {G/S} contains an abelian subgroup of finite index bounded in terms of k. We disprove this statement and prove a weak analogue of it.

AbstractA subgroup H of a group G is said to be permutable if HX = XH for each subgroup X of G, and the group G is called quasihamiltonian if all its subgroups are permutable. We shall say that G is a Q F-group if every subgroup H of G contains a subgroup K of finite index which is permutable in G. It is proved that every locally finite Q F-group contains a quasihamiltonian subgroup of finite index. In the proof of this result we use a theorem by Buckley, Lennox, Neumann, Smith and Wiegold concerning the corresponding problem when permutable subgroups are replaced by normal subgroups: if G is a locally finite group such that H/HG is finite for every subgroup H, then G contains an abelian subgroup of finite index.

AbstractA subgroup H of a group G is called ascendant-by-finite in G if there exists a subgroup K of H such that K is ascendant in G and the index of K in H is finite. It is proved that a locally finite group with every subgroup ascendant-by-finite is locally nilpotent-by-finite. As a consequence, it is shown that the Gruenberg radical has finite index in the whole group.

AbstractWe define a characteristic and definable subgroup F*(G) of any group G of finite Morley rank that behaves very much like the generalized Fitting subgroup of a finite group. We also prove that semisimple subnormal subgroups of G are all definable and that there are finitely many of them.

We construct non amalgamation bases in the class of locally finite groups, and we present necessary and sufficient conditions for the embeddability of an amalgam into a locally finite group in the case that the common subgroup has finite index in both constituents.

AbstractWe prove that if G is a locally finite group admitting an automorphism φ of order four such that CG(φ) is Chernikov, then G has a soluble subgroup of finite index.

AbstractIf $X$ is a subgroup of a group $G$, the cardinal number $\min \{ \vert X: X_{G}\vert , \vert {X}^{G} : X\vert \} $ is called the normal oscillation of $X$ in $G$. It is proved that if all subgroups of a locally finite group $G$ have finite normal oscillation, then $G$ contains a nilpotent subgroup of finite index.

AbstractLet $g$ be an element of a finite group $G$ and let $R_{n}(g)$ be the subgroup generated by all the right Engel values $[g,_{n}x]$ over $x\in G$. In the case when $G$ is soluble we prove that if, for some $n$, the Fitting height of $R_{n}(g)$ is equal to $k$, then $g$ belongs to the $(k+1)$th Fitting subgroup $F_{k+1}(G)$. For nonsoluble $G$, it is proved that if, for some $n$, the generalized Fitting height of $R_{n}(g)$ is equal to $k$, then $g$ belongs to the generalized Fitting subgroup $F_{f(k,m)}^{\ast }(G)$ with $f(k,m)$ depending only on $k$ and $m$, where $|g|$ is the product of $m$ primes counting multiplicities. It is also proved that if, for some $n$, the nonsoluble length of $R_{n}(g)$ is equal to $k$, then $g$ belongs to a normal subgroup whose nonsoluble length is bounded in terms of $k$ and $m$. Earlier, similar generalizations of Baer’s theorem (which states that an Engel element of a finite group belongs to the Fitting subgroup) were obtained by the first two authors in terms of left Engel-type subgroups.

AbstractIn Ersoy et al. [J. Algebra481 (2017), 1–11], we have proved that if G is a locally finite group with an elementary abelian p-subgroup A of order strictly greater than p2 such that CG(A) is Chernikov and for every non-identity α ∈ A the centralizer CG(α) does not involve an infinite simple group, then G is almost locally soluble. This result is a consequence of another result proved in Ersoy et al. [J. Algebra481 (2017), 1–11], namely: if G is a simple locally finite group with an elementary abelian group A of automorphisms acting on it such that the order of A is greater than p2, the centralizer CG(A) is Chernikov and for every non-identity α ∈ A the set of fixed points CG(α) does not involve an infinite simple groups then G is finite. In this paper, we improve this result about simple locally finite groups: Indeed, suppose that G is a simple locally finite group, consider a finite non-abelian subgroup P of automorphisms of exponent p such that the centralizer CG(P) is Chernikov and for every non-identity α ∈ P the set of fixed points CG(α) does not involve an infinite simple group. We prove that if Aut(G) has such a subgroup, then G ≅PSLp(k) where char k ≠ p and P has a subgroup Q of order p2 such that CG(P) = Q.

AbstractLet α be a formation of finite groups which is closed under subgroups and group extensions and which contains the formation of solvable groups. Let G be any finite group. We state and prove equivalences between conditions on chief factors of G and structural characterizations of the α-residual and theα-radical of G. We also discuss the connection of our results to the generalized Fitting subgroup of G.

AbstractHartley asked the following question: Is the centralizer of every finite subgroup in a simple non-linear locally finite group infinite? We answer a stronger version of this question for finite 𝒦-semisimple subgroups. Namely letMoreover we prove that if
