Additivity of the algebraic entropy for locally finite groups with permutable finite subgroups

Abstract

Abstract Additivity with respect to exact sequences is, notoriously, a fundamental property of the algebraic entropy of group endomorphisms. It was proved for abelian groups by using the structure theorems for such groups in an essential way. On the other hand, a solvable counterexample was recently found, showing that it does not hold in general. Nevertheless, we give a rather short proof of the additivity of algebraic entropy for locally finite groups that are either quasihamiltonian or FC-groups.
