Review text

A subgroup \(H\) of a group \(G\) is inert if the index of the intersection of \(H^g\) and \(H\) in \(H\) is finite for all \(g\) of \(G\); a group \(G\) is totally inert if every subgroup of \(G\) is inert. The authors prove the following theorems. Theorem 1. Let \(G\) be an infinite simple inert group. Then \(G\) is a finitely generated periodic group without involutions such that the centralizer of every non-identity element of \(G\) is finite and in which every proper subgroup is residually finite. In particular, \(G\) is not locally graded. Theorem 2. Let \(M\) be a minimal normal subgroup of a totally inert group \(G\). Then either (i) \(M\) is locally finite, or (ii) \(M\) is Abelian and torsion-free, or (iii) \(M\) is a periodic group without involutions such that the centralizer of every non-identity element of \(M\) is finite and in which every proper subgroup is residually finite.
