The finiteness characterization of type FFP\mathfrak F\mathrm{FP}_\infty

Let GG be a group. Write FFP\mathfrak F\mathrm{FP}_\infty for the finiteness property relative to the family of finite subgroups, and write FP\mathrm{FP}_\infty for the ordinary finiteness property over the integers. A pp-subgroup is a subgroup whose order is a power of a prime. Finiteness characterization conjecture. The group GG is of type FFP\mathfrak F\mathrm{FP}_\infty if and only if GG is of type FP\mathrm{FP}_\infty and has finitely many conjugacy classes of pp-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.
