Generalized torsion elements in groups

Ponente:  Raimundo Bastos (University of Brasilia)
Fecha:  miércoles 11 de septiembre de 2024 - 11:30
Lugar:  Aula Naranja, ICMAT

Resumen:

In this talk we present some properties of generalized torsion elements in groups. Moreover, we try connect this "new'' concept with the usual concept of torsion in some standard class of groups (e.g., nilpotent, FC-groups, abelian-by-finite). This presentation is mainly based in the following papers [1,2,3].
