Abstract:
Let $G$ be a residually finite torsion group. We show that, if $G$ has a finite 2-subgroup whose centralizer is finite, then $G$ is locally finite. We also show that, if $G$ has no $2$-torsion, and $Q$ is a finite 2-group acting on $G$ in such a way that the centralizer $C_G(Q)$ is soluble, or of finite exponent, then $G$ is locally finite.References
