A remark about central automorphisms of groups
A note on central automorphisms of groups
A characterization of central automorphisms of groups is given. As an application, we obtain a new proof of the centrality of power automorphisms.
Locally finite groups with all subgroups either subnormal or nilpotent-by-Chernikov
Let G be a locally finite group satisfying the condition given in the title and suppose that G is not nilpotent-by-Chernikov. It is shown that G has a section S that is not nilpotent-by-Chernikov, where S is either a p-group or a semi-direct product of the additive group A of a locally finite field F by a subgroup K of the multiplicative group of F, where K acts by multiplication on A and generates F as a ring. Non-(nilpotent-by-Chernikov) extensions of this latter kind exist and are described in...
