On locally finite groups saturated by full and special linear groups over finite fields (Q6575431)

A group \(G\) is saturated by groups in a set \(\mathfrak{X}\) if for each finite subgroup \(K\) in \(G\) there is \(H \leq G\) such that \(K \leq H \in \mathfrak{X}\). The main results in the paper under review are as follows.\N\NTheorem 1: Let \(G\) be a locally finite group saturated in \(\{\mathrm{GL}_{m}(p^{n})\}\), \(p\) a prime, \(m,n\in \mathbb{N}\) with \(m \not \in \{1,p\}\). Then \(G\) is isomorphic to \(\mathrm{GL}_{m}(Q)\) for a suitable locally finite field \(Q\).\N\NTheorem 2: Suppose that a locally finite group \(G\) is saturated by groups in the set\N\[\N\big \{\mathrm{GL}_{m}(F_{1}), \mathrm{PSL}_{k}(F_{2}), \mathrm{PGL}_{d}(F_{3}), \mathrm{PSU}_{3}(F_{4}), \mathrm{Sz}(F_{5}) \big \}\N\]\Nwith \(m\), \(k\), and \(d\) different from 1, while \(F_{1}\), \(F_{2}\), \(F_{3}\), \(F_{4}\), and \(F_{5}\) range independently over a set of finite fields. Then \(G\) is isomorphic to one of the groups \(\mathrm{GL}_{m}(Q)\), \(\mathrm{PSL}_{k}(Q)\), \(\mathrm{PGL}_{d}(Q)\), \(\mathrm{PSU}_{3}(Q)\), \(\mathrm{Sz}(Q)\), for a suitable locally finite field \(Q\).
