Products of locally cyclic groups

Group Theory 2020-09-09 v1

Abstract

We consider groups of the form G=ABG=AB with two locally cyclic subgroups AA and BB. The structure of these groups is determined in the cases when AA and BB are both periodic or when one of them is periodic and the other is not. Together with a previous study of the case when AA and BB are torsion-free, this gives a complete classification of all groups that are the product of two locally cyclic groups. It is also shown that the product of a finite number of pairwise permutable periodic locally cyclic subgroups is a locally supersoluble group.
