The finiteness characterization of type
Let be a group. Write for the finiteness property relative to the family of finite subgroups, and write for the ordinary finiteness property over the integers. A -subgroup is a subgroup whose order is a power of a prime. Finiteness characterization conjecture. The group is of type if and only if is of type and has finitely many conjugacy classes of -subgroups. This conjecture proposes an ordinary finiteness-theoretic characterization of the family-relative property; the supplied text gives no resolution or further evidence for its status.
