Here we use the classification of finite simple groups to verify that the order of such a G is bounded in terms of the order of any automorphism \\(\\alpha\\) of G and the number of fixed points of \\(\\alpha\\). It follows easily that if a locally finite group G contains an element x with finite centralizer, then it has a locally soluble subgroup H of finite index. In particular, if G itself is simple, then it is finite. If, further, x has prime power order \\(p^ n\\), then we may take \\(H=O_{p'p}(H)=F_ n(H)\\), where \\((F_ i(H))\\) is the Hirsch-Plotkin series of H.    As a further application of the techniques used to prove the above, we improve a result of the author [J. Lond. Math. Soc., II. Ser. 37, 421-436 (1988; Zbl 0619.20018)]. We show that if G is an infinite simple group of Lie type over a locally finite field K of characteristic p, and \\(\\alpha\\) is an automorphism of G of finite order not divisible by p, then there exist infinitely many primes q such that \\(\\alpha\\) fixes an element of order q of G. This was proved previously under restrictions on the order of \\(\\alpha\\).","type":"string"},"datatype":"string"},"type":"statement","id":"Q749659$E596F272-24EE-4075-9F6F-7CCB2D0FC4FA","rank":"normal"}],"P1447":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1447","hash":"fb92e74717f3d9b88af6819be36f7b80b2d3ee0a","datavalue":{"value":{"entity-type":"item","numeric-id":599911,"id":"Q599911"},"type":"wikibase-entityid"},"datatype":"wikibase-item"},"type":"statement","id":"Q749659$06D9C600-6D4B-4EFD-AB10-343A9380D6CE","rank":"normal"}],"P226":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"403a2d378c7f2b1dcd03e71486a8ed20ba643191","datavalue":{"value":"20E32","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q749659$D8AADAA0-B8CA-48F3-A54D-F2F7E107CC7B","rank":"normal"},{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"1e0ea60c8c505c4e5917af1df3d48f8c558f6f04","datavalue":{"value":"20D45","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q749659$DEBB4143-5C31-42F1-A5E7-02FCE732A9CD","rank":"normal"},{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"a5e4b57a670ee788c7f89ba8dae300fb6f63bffc","datavalue":{"value":"20F50","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q749659$12C2BB18-EAC1-4628-95AA-4670EC282974","rank":"normal"},{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"d42408b3b2a5719112a50156031a4dfd0836cf9b","datavalue":{"value":"20D05","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q749659$430A06F1-38DC-4B68-A4E7-324D2432B027","rank":"normal"},{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"635c77a39b27ee22a5bfcde299ab7a563c7614e1","datavalue":{"value":"20D60","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q749659$1971A89D-D82B-4EB6-B335-B02054C1F05F","rank":"normal"},{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"ea37469d91f3037e8b6809fc66f770f1b27a461d","datavalue":{"value":"20E07","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q749659$0D69C2C4-DCAB-4147-9441-465D9B49ED48","rank":"normal"}],"P1451":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1451","hash":"b3ae1763027681c549990a9bec4d077fbcb3d4a2","datavalue":{"value":"4173236","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q749659$CFD14743-8CC4-41E7-8F7A-C83023172FC4","rank":"normal"}],"P1450":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1450","hash":"fecc8d5ad17552e522777d2b0836330782ad296e","datavalue":{"value":"order
