A proof of a conjecture by Jabara on groups in which all involutions are odd transpositions (Q1983959)

Let \(G\) be a group (finite or infinite) generated by elements of order two. The main result proved in the paper under review is that if the product of any two elements of order two of \(G\) has order 1, 2, 3 or 5 with all possibilities occurring, then \(G \simeq \mathrm{PSL}(2,4)\simeq A_{5}\) or \(G\simeq \mathrm{PSU}(3,4)\). This provides an affirmative answer to Problem 19.36 proposed by the reviewer in [\textit{V. D. Mazurov} (ed.) and \textit{E. I. Khukhro} (ed.), The Kourovka notebook. Unsolved problems in group theory. 18th ed. Novosibirsk: Institute of Mathematics, Russian Academy of Sciences, Siberian Div. (2014; Zbl 1372.20001)]. The reviewer remarks that he was very surprised that in the proof the author could not use the hypothesis that \(G\) is periodic.
