TITLE: Groups with Finite Conjugacy Classes and their Generalizations

Abstract


The class FC of groups with finite conjugacy classes has been very well studied. After a review of the properties of FC-groups, we will discuss the wider class of FC*-groups, which has been introduced recently. Among questions to be considered are Sylow structure and profinite closure of subgroups.
