On Periodic Shunkov’s Groups with Almost Layer-finite Normalizers of Finite Subgroups

Abstract

Layer-finite groups first appeared in the work by S.~N.~Chernikov (1945). Almost layer-finite groups are extensions of layer-finite groups by finite groups. The class of almost layer-finite groups is wider than the class of layer-finite groups; it includes all Chernikov groups, while it is easy to give examples of Chernikov groups that are not layer-finite. The author develops the direction of characterizing well-known and well-studied classes of groups in other classes of groups with some additional (rather weak) finiteness conditions. A Shunkov group is a group $ G $ in which for any of its finite subgroups $ K $ in the quotient group $ N_G (K) / K $ any two conjugate elements of prime order generate a finite subgroup. In this paper, we prove the properties of periodic not almost layer-finite Shunkov groups with condition: the normalizer of any finite nontrivial subgroup is almost layer-finite. Earlier, these properties were proved in various articles of the author, as necessary, sometimes under some conditions, then under others (the minimality conditions for not almost layer-finite subgroups, the absence of second-order elements in the group, the presence of subgroups with certain properties in the group). At the same time, it was necessary to make remarks that this property is proved in almost the same way as in the previous work, but under different conditions. This eliminates the shortcomings in the proofs of many articles by the author, in which these properties are used without proof.
