Sylow subgroups of groups with Černikov conjugacy classes (Q1092165)

It is well known that the Sylow \(p\)-subgroups (i.e. maximal p-subgroups) of an FC-group are locally conjugate. The authors extend this result to groups with Chernikov classes, that is groups \(G\) in which \(G/C_ G(x^ G)\) is a Chernikov group for each \(x\in G\). For FC-groups the result depends on the inverse limit of finite non-empty sets being non-empty. For CC-groups the stronger result that the inverse limit of non-empty compact \(T_ 1\)-spaces is non-empty is required. It is also shown that the Sylow \(p\)-subgroups are conjugate if and only if there are only countably many of them.
