Review text

A group \(G\) is said to be `strongly residually finite' if every quotient of \(G\) is residually finite. This is equivalent to requiring each normal subgroup to be closed in the profinite topology on \(G\). Examples of strongly residually finite groups include: direct products of finite non-Abelian simple groups, periodic FC-groups with finite Sylow subgroups and finitely generated Abelian-by-polycyclic-by-finite groups. In this article the authors study FC-groups which are strongly residually finite in the case where the groups are also locally nilpotent, locally soluble or metahypercentral. We quote one result. Theorem A: Let \(G\) be a locally nilpotent group. Then \(G\) is strongly residually finite if and only if there is a finitely generated \(G\)-central subgroup \(V\) such that \(G/V\) is a direct product of center-by-finite groups of finite exponent.
