FC-group

In mathematics, in the field of group theory, an FC-group is a group in which every conjugacy class of elements has finite cardinality. The following are some facts about FC-groups: * Every finite group is an FC-group. * Every abelian group is an FC-group. * The following property is stronger than the property of being FC: every subgroup has finite index in its normal closure.
