AbstractAdditivity with respect to exact sequences is, notoriously, a fundamental property of the algebraic entropy of group endomorphisms. It was proved for abelian groups by using the structure theorems for such groups in an essential way. On the other hand, a solvable counterexample was recently found, showing that it does not hold in general. Nevertheless, we give a rather short proof of the additivity of algebraic entropy for locally finite groups that are either quasihamiltonian or FC-groups.

AbstractWe study the growth of group endomorphisms, a generalization of the classical notion of growth of finitely generated groups, which is strictly related to algebraic entropy. We prove that the inner automorphisms of a group have the same growth type and the same algebraic entropy as the identity automorphism. Moreover, we show that endomorphisms of locally finite groups cannot have intermediate growth. We also find an example showing that the Addition Theorem for algebraic entropy does not hold for endomorphisms of arbitrary groups.

1.1. Introduction. In this paper, we continue with the theme of (1): the relationships holding between the Sπ (i.e. maximal π) subgroups of a locally finite group and the various local systems of that group. In (1), we were mainly concerned with ‘good’ Sπ subgroups – those which reduce into some local system (and are said to be good with respect to that system). Here, on the other hand, we are concerned with a very much more special sort of Sπ subgroup.

Groups with the weak maximal condition on non-abelian subgroups are the main subject of this research. Locally finite groups with this property are abelian or Chemikov. Non-abelian groups with the weak maximal condition on non-abelian subgroups, which have an ascending series of normal subgroups with locally nilpotent or locally finite factors, are described in this article.

This chapter discusses several classical as well as new examples of theories of presheaf type from the perspective of the theory developed in the previous chapters. The known examples of theories of presheaf type that are revisited in the course of the chapter include the theory of intervals (classified by the topos of simplicial sets), the theory of linear orders, the theory of Diers fields, the theory of abstract circles (classified by the topos of cyclic sets) and the geometric theory of finite sets. The new examples include the theory of algebraic (or separable) extensions of a given field, the theory of locally finite groups, the theory of vector spaces with linear independence predicates and the theory of lattice-ordered abelian groups with strong unit.

AbstractThe structure of locally soluble periodic groups in which every abelian subgroup is locally cyclic was described over 20 years ago. We complete the aforementioned characterization by dealing with the non-periodic case. We also describe the structure of locally finite groups in which all abelian subgroups are locally cyclic.
