On finite subgroups of groups of type VF

Ian J Leary

Abstract. For any finite group Q not of prime power order, we construct a group G that is virtually of type F, contains infinitely many conjugacy classes of subgroups isomorphic to Q, and contains only finitely many conjugacy classes of other finite subgroups.

Keywords. Conjugacy classes, finite subgroups, groups of type F
