On locally finite groups with a four-subgroup whose centralizer is small. (English) Zbl 1284.20038

The main result of this paper is: Let \(G\) be a locally finite group which contains a Klein four-subgroup \(V\) such that \(C_G(V)\) is finite and \(C_G(v)\) has finite exponent for some \(v\in V\). Then \([G,v]'\) has finite exponent.
As a corollary it is proved that, under the previous hypothesis, the group \(G\) has a normal series \[ \{1\}\leq G_1\leq G_2\leq G_3\leq G \] such that \(G_1\) and \(G/G_2\) have finite exponents while \(G_2/G_1\) is Abelian. Moreover \(G_3\) is hyperabelian and has finite index in \(G\).
