A k-Conjugacy Class Problem

Roberts, Collin 15 August 2007 (has links)
In any group G, we may extend the definition of the conjugacy class of an element to the conjugacy class of a k-tuple, for a positive integer k. When k = 2, we are forming the conjugacy classes of ordered pairs, when k = 3, we are forming the conjugacy classes of ordered triples, etc. In this report we explore a generalized question which Professor B. Doug Park has posed (for k = 2). For an arbitrary k, is it true that: (G has finitely many k-conjugacy classes) implies (G is finite)? Supposing to the contrary that there exists an infinite group G which has finitely many k-conjugacy classes for all k = 1, 2, 3, ..., we present some preliminary analysis of the properties that G must have. We then investigate known classes of groups having some of these properties: universal locally finite groups, existentially closed groups, and Engel groups.
