Infinite groups with many permutable subgroups

Abstract

A subgroup of a group is said to be permutable in , if for every subgroup of . A result due to Stonehewer asserts that every permutable subgroup is ascendant although the converse is false. In this paper we study some infinite groups whose ascendant subgroups are permutable (-groups). We show that the structure of radical hyperfinite -groups behave as that of finite soluble groups in which the relation to be a permutable subgroup is transitive (-groups).
