Abstract

Let be a linear group of (finite) degree and characteristic . Suppose that for every infinite subset of there exist distinct elements and of with periodic-by-nilpotent. Then has a periodic normal subgroup such that if then is torsion-free abelian and if then is torsion-free nilpotent of class at most and is isomorphic to a linear group of degree and characteristic zero. We also discuss the structure of periodic-by-nilpotent linear groups.
