On groups covered by relatively subnormal Černikov local systems
摘要
Let
In [2], Reinhold Baer introduced a characteristic subgroup of a group which coincides with the hypercentre in the finite case (we call this subgroup the Baer centre of the group); actually, as shown in [4], this subgroup coincides with the hypercentre even in periodic FC-groups. Extending these results, we prove that this equivalence holds in many relevant universes of locally finite groups (see Theorem 6.2) and in particular in certain classes of locally finite groups having local systems of the above-mentioned type (see Theorem 6.9).
Finally, in order to better understand the behaviour of the Baer centre in our context, we introduce and study a new class of groups that is strictly contained between the classes of periodic FC-groups and periodic BFC-groups, and that could be very useful from a computational point of view (see Section 7).
