Abstract: | We study the problem as to which is the cardinality of connected components of the graph Γα, defined as follows. Let G be a group and a an element of G. The vertex set V(Γα) of the graph is the conjugacy class of elements,Cl
G(a), and two vertices x and y of the graph Γα are bridged by an edge iff x=y. If the intersectionC
G(a)∩Cl
G(a) is finite, Γα is locally finite. We prove that connected components of the locally finite graph Γα are finite in some classes of groups.
