Groups with the \(\pi\)-minimality condition (Q1593882)

The author studies the structure of locally graded groups, satisfying the \(\pi\)-minimality condition and some of its generalizations. The \(\pi\)-minimality condition was introduced by S.~N.~Chernikov. The paper contains many results. We note some typical results, for example, the following Theorem 1. Let \(G\) be a locally graded group, \(H\) the locally finite radical of \(G\). Suppose that every countable \(F\)-perfect subgroup of \(H\) is soluble. Then \(G\) satisfies the \(\pi\)-minimality condition if and only if all \(\pi\)-elements of \(G\) generate a Chernikov subgroup. Theorem 2. Let the group \(G\) contain a normal SN-subgroup of finite index. Then \(G\) satisfies the \(\pi\)-minimality condition if and only if all \(\pi\)-elements of \(G\) generate a Chernikov subgroup. Theorem 3. Let \(G\) be a locally graded group, and suppose that \(2\in\pi\). Then \(G\) satisfies the \(\pi\)-minimality condition if and only if all \(\pi\)-elements of \(G\) generate a Chernikov subgroup.
