SYLOW THEORY, FORMATIONS AND FITTING CLASSES IN LOCALLY FINITE GROUPS

by Martyn R Dixon (University of Alabama, USA)

This book is concerned with the generalizations of Sylow theorems and the related topics of formations and the fitting of classes to locally finite groups. It also contains details of Sunkov's and Belyaev's results on locally finite groups with min-p for all primes p. This is the first time many of these topics have appeared in book form. The body of work here is fairly complete.
