FC groups whose periodic parts can be embedded in direct products of finite groups

Abstract

In this note are considered FC groups whose periodic parts can be embedded in direct products of finite groups. It is shown that if the periodic part of an FC group G can be embedded in the direct product of its finite factor groups with respect to the normal subgroups of G whose intersection is the trivial subgroup, then G/Z (G) is a subgroup of a direct product of finite groups. It is also shown that if the periodic part of an FC group G is a group without a center, then G can be embedded in a direct product of finite groups without centers and a torsion-free Abelian group.
