FC group

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In mathematics, in the field of group theory, a group is said to be an FC group if every conjugacy class of elements in it has finite cardinality.

The following facts are known about FC groups:

• Every finite group is an FC group
• Every abelian group is an FC group
• The following property is stronger than the property of being FC: every subgroup has finite index in its normal closure.
