centralizers in simple locally finite groups

Centralizers in Locally Finite Groups

The topic of the present paper is the following question. Let G be a locally finite group admitting an automorphism φ of finite order such that the centralizer CG(φ) satisfies certain finiteness conditions. What impact does this have on the structure of the group G? Equivalently, one can ask the same question when φ is an element of G. Sometimes the impact is quite strong and the paper is a sur...

Centralizers of Elements in Locally Finite Simple Groups

Our concern in this paper is to obtain information about the structure of centralizers of elements of locally finite simple groups, in the light of the classification of finite simple groups (CFSG). This classification, in the form that the number of sporadic simple groups is finite, is frequently used, as seems inevitable if real progress with locally finite simple groups is to be made. Centra...

Centralizers of Involutions in Finite Simple Groups

It has been known for a long time that the structure of a finite simple group is intimately connected with the structure of the centralizers of its involutions. An old result of Brauer and Fowler asserts, in fact, that there are at most a finite number of simple groups in which the centralizer of an involution has a given structure. A more specific, pioneering result of Brauer established that ...

Finite groups have even more centralizers

For a finite group $G$‎, ‎let $Cent(G)$ denote the set of centralizers of single elements of $G$‎. ‎In this note we prove that if $|G|leq frac{3}{2}|Cent(G)|$ and $G$ is 2-nilpotent‎, ‎then $Gcong S_3‎, ‎D_{10}$ or $S_3times S_3$‎. ‎This result gives a partial and positive answer to a conjecture raised by A‎. ‎R‎. ‎Ashrafi [On finite groups with a given number of centralizers‎, ‎Algebra‎ ‎Collo...

Locally finite basic classical simple Lie superalgebras

In this work, we study direct limits of finite dimensional basic classical simple Lie superalgebras and obtain the conjugacy classes of Cartan subalgebras under the group of automorphisms.
