Groups with Polycyclic-by-Finite Conjugate Classes of Subgroups

Abstract

Neumann characterized the groups in which every subgroup has finitely many conjugates only as central-by-finite groups. If 𝔛 is a class of groups, a group G is said to have 𝔛-conjugate classes of subgroups if G/Core _G (N _G (H)) ∈ 𝔛 for every subgroup H of G. In this paper, we generalize Neumann's result by showing that a group has polycyclic-by-finite classes of conjugate subgroup if and only if it is central-by-(polycyclic-by-finite).
