Abstract
AbstractWe prove in particular that if G is a soluble group with no non-trivial locally finite normal subgroups, then G is p-potent for every prime p for which G has no Prüfer p-sections. (A group G is p-potent if for every power n of p and for any element x of G of infinite order or of finite order divisible by n there is a normal subgroup N of G of finite index such that the order of x modulo N is n. A Prüfer p-group is an infinite locally cyclic p-group.) This extends to soluble groups in general, and gives a more direct proof of, recent results of Azarov on polycyclic groups and soluble minimax groups.
