Abstract
AbstractWe consider groups of the form $${G} = {AB}$$
G
=
AB
with two locally cyclic subgroups A and B. The structure of these groups is determined in the cases when A and B are both periodic or when one of them is periodic and the other is not. Together with a previous study of the case where A and B are torsion-free, this gives a complete classification of all groups that are the product of two locally cyclic subgroups. As an application, it is shown that the Prüfer rank of a periodic product of two locally cyclic subgroups does not exceed 3, and this bound is sharp. It is also proved that a product of a finite number of pairwise permutable periodic locally cyclic subgroups is a locally supersoluble group. This generalizes a well-known theorem of B. Huppert for finite groups.
