On the product of two Chernikov subgroups. (Q5962257)

It is a classical result of Ito that the product of two Abelian subgroups is metabelian. The authors consider the product of two subgroups \(A,B\) that satisfy the minimum condition and possess Abelian subgroups \(A_0,B_0\) of index \(2\) in \(A,B\). The second author had shown earlier that this product must be solvable. It is shown here that the product is Abelian-by-finite if \(A\) is of dihedral type, that is, all elements in \(A\setminus A_0\) are of order \(2\).
